How to stop sonarr deleting files

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5338
OS: win10 1909

Description of issue:

I Like to have multiple copies of some movies/ tv episodes in different qalities
for example i have my own rips of futurama that have the audio commentary tracks
720p copy of an episode/series and a 1080p copy ( i have my reasons for different quality copies)

However if any of the shows i have monitored by Sonarr have download an episdode that sonaar see’s as being better than the old copy i have it deletes my older copy after downloading the new one, but i want to keep the older lower quality one as it may have different audio tracks or it might just be as simple as i still want the 720p for older hardware and the 1080/4k copy for newer equipment.

i want to stop sonarr from ever deleting any file from my content store.

even if say its a brand new episode and it downloads the quality i have it set to say 1080p for this example

but i manually decide that i would like to add a 2160p copy to my collection and download that outside of sonarr , and i manually copy it over to my content store (or sab+sonaar decide to copy it over) sonarr deletes the 1080p copy. is there some kind of hidden option i just cant find to stop deleting older/lower quality files for those of us that are data hoarders?

No hidden setting. Sonarr currently simply doesn’t support multiple files for the same episode.
