Disable subfolder creation with filename

Post by manganc19 »

Hi,

I noticed that when the nzb file get's downloaded, it automatically creates a subfolder with the same name as the file downloaded. Is there a way to prevent this, and just have the file unrar'd "naked" into the "Completed Download Folder"..

For example, I add abc.nzb which downloads a file called abc.mkv, and my "Completed Download Folder" is defined as E:\shows

After sabnzbd is completed, it creates the following abc.mkv in the following directory structure: E:\shows\abc\abc.mkv.
Is there a way to have this download to the following directory structure: E:\shows\abc.mkv ?

Thanks in advance. BTW, great product!

FYI.. Just in case this info might help you understand my issue, I am coming from newsbinPro and they had a checkbox configuration to remove this same option by unchecking the "Add NZB Filename to Download Folder"

Read the message at the top of the Config->Categories.
Add an asterisk * at the end of paths.
