Don't create tmp folders when downloading

[kkurootetsuro]

Describe your suggested feature

If the app crashes mid download, the tmp folder will stay there until the user notices (which can take a while)
Is it possible to make it not create the tmp folder?
Suwayomi as far as I can tell works like that. It doesn't create a tmp folder. When the download finishes, it simply adds the .cbz to the folder.

Would a re-download will overwrite tmp folder?

@cuong-tran the re-download checks for already existing pics in tmp folder and resume from the missing ones going forward.

@kkurootetsuro The created folder while downloading is called "<chapter_name>_tmp". The tmp is there in fact to let user resume, what is your solution? Where will the pics get stored while downloading? And if you suggest to make this space very volatile, getting deleted on the stop, imagine redownloading 200+ pages of a chapter because internet went off before finishing last couple of pics.
Maybe you mean that the folder created while downloading will not be called "tmp" but the name of the chapter only already, then the app cannot recognize anymore between fully downloaded and not.

My solution is to forget about it, until when in need and in mood I load the folder up in the PC, search for "tmp" folders and clean up, since these pending up are so much smaller in number compared to those complete successfully.

Dude, I'm not asking for this with no reason. Maybe there is a better solution but I'm not sure what it would be. Anyway, if the app crashes during any download, the tmp folder won't be helping anymore. It'll just be a headache. Every time the app crashes while I'm downloading something, I have to go the folder, delete the tmp file and start redownloading again because no matter what I do, it won't continue.

then I should investigate why it can't resume downloading instead.
