Default Moving packages and files after completion

I saw multiple threads from other users on the forum requesting the above, but didn't find a clear solution. I would like files from all completed packages to be moved to a separate subdirectory. I have pending downloads that sometimes take days, and there is no easy way to see which directories have completed or not. I can manually look at the directory structure and see if the directory name is still in the Downloads tab, but that is time consuming when there are dozens or even hundreds of directories. I have tried simply sorting the directories by last write date, and just moving them manually. But that wasn't good enough. Some still had files in progress (PART). Others didn't have any PART files, but weren't complete, and subsequent files were downloaded to the parent directory, since the package directory no longer existed.

Is there a way to move completed packages ? Or at least identify those that are, and moving them manually ?

@rabidman: There is no "out of the box" support for this. you can make use of scripts for eventscripter to move finished downloads/extracted files or place some helper files in finished packages or do other stuff.
I recommend to look for existing scripts here

especially here

or ask for help with this.

Thanks.

The forum you linked to is fairly young, and I did not see a matching script.
The thread in your second link shows one relevant post.

Unfortunately, that script moves all files to a flat fixed directory, without preserving any of the original directory structure. That is not the result I'm trying to achieve.

@rabidman: you can ask for help/script changes according your wishes.
also script cannot know your wish of directory structure
best would be to explain what exactly should happen/what you want to achieve

Sorry if I was unclear.
1) I have my JDownloader 2 global download directory set to d:\Downloads\Jdownloader

2) I download a package . It ends up in d:\Downloads\Jdownloader\MyPackage

3) There are also files such as
d:\Downloads\Jdownloader\MyPackage\MyFile

4) There may also be subdirectories, such as
d:\Downloads\Jdownloader\MyPackage\MySubDir

5) Subdirectories may also have files, such as
d:\Downloads\Jdownloader\MyPackage\MySubDir\MyFile2

6) When the entire package has completed downloading, I want MyPackage and its entire content to be moved to D:\Downloads\Complete .
Ie. the package should be in d:\Downloads\Complete\MyPackage

7) Since the move in this case is on the same drive, simply renaming the directory from D:\Downloads\JDownloader\MyPackage to D:\Downloads\Complete\MyPackage should be sufficient .
