Sabnzbd version 4.3.3 keeps starting in tabbed layout.

[General Grievous]

Good day everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with Sabnzbd.

It always starts in tabbed mode, even though I disable this setting in the "Web Interface Settings" each time. However, the next time I launch Sabnzbd, the tabbed layout reappears. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

What if you use a different browser to disable it?
The setting is stored in the sabnzbd.ini.

Thanks for your quick reply.

The settings are disabled in the sabnzbd.ini file. Using Microsoft Edge instead of Google Chrome results in the same issue.

Ah, then enable the saving of the settings in the Config and then disable it.

Seems it's still using it somehow. Probably a bug.

I am not quite sure what you mean? Where should I enable the saving of the settings exactly?
If you mean in the gui disable and enable the tabbed option, I did that a 100 times

Do you think you can find & access sabnzbd.ini?

If so, save the setting you want, then exit SABnzbd, and check sabnzbd.ini, and check the value of interface_settings in sabnzbd.ini: what is the value?

See below for examples. The keyword is "displayTabbed" and the value after that.

It might be your sabnzbd.ini is not saved at all?

Default, nothing set, so no tabbed view: nothing

Code: Select all

sabnzbd.ini.default-no-tabbed:
interface_settings = ""

After setting to Tabbed view:

Code: Select all

sabnzbd.ini.tabbed-true:
interface_settings = '{"dateFormat":"fromNow","extraQueueColumns":[],"extraHistoryColumns":[],"displayCompact":false,"displayFullWidth":false,"displayTabbed":true,"confirmDeleteQueue":true,"confirmDeleteHistory":true,"keyboardShortcuts":true}'

Afer turning off Tabbed view again:

Code: Select all

sabnzbd.ini.tabbed-turned-off-again:
interface_settings = '{"dateFormat":"fromNow","extraQueueColumns":[],"extraHistoryColumns":[],"displayCompact":false,"displayFullWidth":false,"displayTabbed":false,"confirmDeleteQueue":true,"confirmDeleteHistory":true,"keyboardShortcuts":true}'

[sander]

and ... ? Did you find & check sabnzbd.ini?

[General Grievous]

and ... ? Did you find & check sabnzbd.ini?

interface_settings = '{"dateFormat":"fromNow","extraQueueColumns":["age"],"extraHistoryColumns":["size"],"displayCompact":false,"displayFullWidth":false,"displayTabbed":false,"confirmDeleteQueue":true,"confirmDeleteHistory":true,"keyboardShortcuts":true}'

Seems to look fine to me...

Sorry for late reply

[sander]

"displayTabbed":false," ... looks good: indeed *set* to non-Tabbed

And final check: if you change it to Tabbed, does the value in sabnzbd.ini change too?

I'm asking, because you might be looking at the wrong sabnzbd.ini. Or you have unmutable setup (docker etc)

Seems to look okay aswell, right?

"displayTabbed":true, ... indeed

It's a mystery to me. Also it also happens in another browser.

Last check, and then I'm out of ideas/checks: in Chrome (or Edge?), open an incognito browser (ctrl + shift + N) and there open SABnzbd. Still all tabbed ... ?

Yep, also tabbed until I refresh the page... Total mystery to me also!

Oh, so after arefesh it's OK? And still OK after the next refesh?

After every refresh the layout is ok and stays that way! Every next time I start SAB the layout is tabbed and a refresh is needed!?

[sander]

Ooohhhh. Do you consider that a minor annoyance, or a Problem?

If a Problem: your the only one reporting this. So that would mean only you can find out. If you want to, you could do two things
1. on aonther device, which has no SABnzbd, install a SABnzbd, and see if you can reproduce
2. on the current device (with the initial tabbed layout): use the Chrome "Developer Tools" (CTRL - SHIFT - I) to read on the line what Chrome gets from SABnzbd. That is hard work and needs html and javascript knowledge
