Hello,
I have switched from Grabit to Sabnzbd under Windows, and I am really happy with the flexibility and configuration of Sabnzbd, but there is one thing I am missing: I have read about the different possibilities to add new files to the queue, and the most convenient (at least from a Windows-User's point of view) to add is missing: simply doubleclick a nzb file and add it to the queue. Is there any helper app that enables a filetype association for nzb files with sabnzbd?
Associate filetype nzb with sabnzbd under windows?

Install release 0.5.0 Beta6 (or wait a few weeks for the final)
and use the association option the installer offers.

One way to do it is with a batch file.
Substitute "E:\NZB Watch Folder" for your watch folder and then save that as "NZB-Click.cmd" in your SABnzbd folder.
Associate NZB's with NZB-Click.cmd and when you double click on an NZB, it will be copied into your watch folder
Code: Select all
@echo off
copy /y %1 "E:\NZB Watch Folder"Associate NZB's with NZB-Click.cmd and when you double click on an NZB, it will be copied into your watch folder
