Deobfuscate final filenames
If filenames of (large) files in the final folder look obfuscated or meaningless they will be renamed to the job name. Additionally, attempts to set the correct file extension based on the file signature if the extension is not present or meaningless.

I had this option turned on because who wants to deal with files called d51b6sd51bs6d51g5sdf1g6sd1g56sd but I've discovered that it's quite aggressive and actually changes things like short.name-GRP.rar into the job name as well. This is a pain when you wanted to get the files the way they were released by GRP and in order to use the included sfv file you have to manually rename all the files back to short.name-GRP.rar

I've had to turn the option off but I'm not looking forward to dealing with the d51b6sd51bs6d51g5sdf1g6sd1g56sd files again...

Is there any way to strike a better balance between these two extremes?

Share the actual filename, and we can try to optimize the detection!

It happens to almost every scene release I try to download "as-is" no post processing, no unraring, nothing just download.

The NZB/Job name is always fully spelled out but Scene filenames are usually shorter or acronyms for the release title.

Please share some names... We can't change the logic without examples.
