Extras on movies don't go to trash if file is missing - they're removed immediately

Metadata of extras on a movie get removed without confirmation if their file is missing but the parent folder exists. If the parent folder is missing, they stick around as expected.

I realize it’s not that big of a deal since there really isn’t “metadata” on them, but seems like an oversight/afterthought and they shouldn’t just vanish. I feel that they should be included in the “trash” for you to clean up if/when needed so you have a record of what all was missing.

Side note: It would be great for extras to actually have metadata you can change…even just the display name rather than it just using the filename. I prefer to tag files with additional info in their filename, and this behavior prevents that.
