suggestion for change in the unpack plugin

[randac56]

is it possible to change the unpack plugin so it'll unpack to a tmp folder and then move it to the specified destination folder after it's finished?

I ask because I have a script that reacts to the files in the unpack destination folder and it fails when some files are still being unpacked

IF this does happen, it shouldn't be the default.

it should be tunable via conf.php

I'm pretty sure it happens. As soon the unpack starts theres a folder in the destination dir with a locked file.
as soon as the unpack is finished - I can see that the cpu usage goes down, the file is released and can be moved, renamed, whatever...

But are you saying it is easily changed in the conf.php?

I'm saying if the change you are asking for is made, it shouldnt' be the default option.

Currently, unpack works as it should. If this change was made, it needs to be an option, not a rule

agreed - it should be an option

also can we add an option for auto unpack on certain rss feeds?
similar to the /*./i auto grab everything from a feed, can we add an option for it to unpack everything automatically only from that feed?

i really want this only on RSS feeds, anyone have a hack for this?
