.1 Added to folder name

Post by wevotedno »

Hi all, i am a recent sab convert. Firstly thanks to everybody involved in the creation of sabnzbd, it is an amazing piece of work. I am very satisfied with my setup and i managed to automate it as much as i need but i still have a small problem.

I like to have my temporary folder and completed(unrared) the sam and it works. The problem is that when the download is finished and the rars unrar, the folder is renamed to [nzbname.1] This is because when the unrar takes place a second folder with the same name is created so the .1 is added.

Anyway i can bypass this?

No it doesn't. That's why you get the .1
You should use a sub folder of "complete" as your temporary folder.

Why write a script ??

Just change the set-up of your folder and you are ok :

Examples :

Option 1

Download folder : C://Downloads
Complete folder : C://Complete

So 2 different folders !!

Option 2

Download folder : C://Complete/Downloads
Complete folder : C://Complete

So downloads is a subfolder of Complete

When you do 1 of the above .. there will be NO .1 added

Ofcourse you can change the path/names to match your system set-up

Thanks to all for the replies. I know all that regarding the different folders. I was just wondering if there was a way to use the same folder path without having the .1 added. Since it is possible with all other newsreaders i was just wondering.

ex. My movie.nzb.

A folder is created on C:\desktop with the name my movie. When the download is complete, it unrars WITHIN that same folder without having to create a second folder called "my movie" in order to place the complete folder in it. That is when the .1 is added, because sab needs to create another folder with the same name.
