Accurately show "extras" in the duplicate-deletion web UI!

I inadvertently deleted like 100 "extras" packages for movies when I though I was deleting old HD or SD versions of movies... because in THIS UI, when you pick which things you want to delete, there's NO way to distinguish an actual HD version of the whole movie (which I'd want to delete) from the HD "extras" package for that movie (which I wanted to keep).

Seems crazy that the extras package can't get a parenthetical label "(extras)" right there inline next to the title of the version, where i've notated here in this screenshot.

I’ve run into this numerous times myself. I don’t have a server so this adds a bit more frustration. I think i ended up downloading and deleting Jumangi like 3 times until I figured out which was which (which then had to re download the extras again).

Also while we’re on it.. why doesn’t the app let me “Buy” a movie without it auto downloading? Again, because storage, when I purchase multiple movies at one time, I’ll let the first movie download then Hurry and delete the others before they start downloading. This is especially frustrating if I run out of room on my sV which then requires a delete of a movie I wanted to keep on there.

I had exactly the same issue last week, and I must have deleted extras from over a 100 movies.
