%fn Pattern Not Working in Sorting

[Cyrdog]

I'm trying to maintain the original downloaded file name.  And the %fn pattern is supposed to preserve this according to the documentation.  The substitution occurs in the interface (i.e. the examples shows /Volumes/Media/file), but when the server processes a download, it creates a directory structure like %fn/NZB/file, where there is an actual directory named "%fn".

What's your exact sort string and which sort type do you use?

Hate to dig up an old thread, but I am having the exact same issue.
This under 'Generic Sorting'
w/ Enable Movie Sorting Checked off
My sort string is:
%fn/%fn.%ext
What ends up happening is I get %fn/{the original file from the RAR name}

I've heard "same problem" too often, it seldom is true.
Can you please explain what happens in your specific situation.

My sort string looks like this: %s.n/Season.%s/%fn and i end instead of it changing the filename to the original filename it puts the files in a folder called %fn, inside the season folder, hopefully u can help me fix this problem.

The syntax required is a bit weird here; you should be using this:
%s.n/Season.%s/%fn.%ext
Otherwise SABnzbd thinks you want to name the folder and not the file.
(And botches up the folder name instead).
