getting sab to unrar completed jobs

Post by haircut100 »

Hi

Been running sab nicely on my lion macbook for a few weeks now. Just installed it on an older snow leopard macmini and it's working fine except not unraring at the end of each job (yes, the enable unrar switch is turned on). Is there any way to get sab to go back through the folders of downloaded items to unrar and tidy up?

Anyone else had this problem with unrar not working on snow leopard?

thanks in advance.

Do these items show up as failed downloads in the History.
Otherwise, do you have +Delete as default processing option?

They show up as successful downloads. How do I set my default processing option on a global basis? It could be I just haven't set anything(?)

thanks

In Config->Categories, the Default category.
You cannot get SABnzbd to process finished jobs.
You will have to use a generic unpack tool, there are several for OSX.

OK thanks for your advice.

Apparently I can use an app called "hazel" on os x to recursively whip through the folders and unrar everything, so I'll be trying that later.
