Escaping special characters

Post by tombii »

Hi,
I'm settings up a category where I want the downloaded files to be in directory /test/[Video] but SABnzbd throws an error about not being able to create that directory.

I tried escaping like this: /test/\[Video\] but in that case I get a directory named \[Video\].

How am I supposed to accomplish putting the files in /test/[Video] automatically?

I might be your OS, because I cannot reproduce your problem at all.
Which OS, which SABnzbd version, which skin?

Quite embarrassing, just before submitting in the relevant parts of the log file, I checked the folder permissions which were wrong.
No bug :)

(SABnzbd 0.6.15 installed on Debian 6.0.4 x64 using python sources)
