Anyway to turn off automated folders in 'Complete' folder?

[eltonjock]

When I download an .nzb it retrieves it and creates a new folder in my 'Complete' folder. Is there anyway to turn off the automated new folder and instead have my assembled file save directly in the 'Complete' folder instead? I would rather not have a bunch of different folders in my 'Complete' folder and just have my assembled files. Does this makes sense? Anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks for any help!

So everything into "Complete"? No more directory structure? That will give interesting results when file names are the same, like the common VTS_01_1.VOB.

Anyway: I think you can do this with a post-processing script (http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-scripts). Pseudo code:

Code: Select all

cd $1
cp * */* */*/* */*/*/* ..
cd
rm -rf $1

As said: expect all kinds of problems with overlapping file names.

Just read the text at the top of the Config->Categories page for a solution.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'm going about something the wrong way. I have "DropFolder" installed and it automatically flips any video that is placed in a specific folder. That specific folder is essentially my 'Complete' folder. But the DropFolder will not convert the files that are in folders. If I have video files save directly in the 'complete' folder, the DropFolder app will convert it into the right format. DropFolder will then export the converted video into a dropbox so I can watch the video from my iphone anywhere. The end goal is being able to downloand an .nzb from my phone, drop it into dropbox, have sabnzbd watch for it, download video in to DropFolder, have DropFolder convert to proper iphone format, and then grab it from my dropbox to watch on iphone.

Any help is appreciated.

Any help is appreciated.

Like I said, the top of the Config->Categories says this:
Ending the path with an asterisk * will prevent creation of job folders.
So append an asterisk to the path of the default category (or specific categorries) and presto,
all is dumped in the same folder,

Maybe this is a solution:

If you download avi's, and you want that avi (and not other files like .html) in a certain directory (monitored by DropFolder), the scipt could be:

Code: Select all

cd $1
cp *.avi */*.avi */*/*.avi /home/bill/dropfolder/watchfolder
# just to be sure, also copy mkv:
cp *.mkv */*.mkv */*/*.mkv /home/bill/dropfolder/watchfolder
# and .mpg
cp *.mpg */*.mpg */*/*.mpg /home/bill/dropfolder/watchfolder

As long as the file name is unique and you don't download classic DVD formats, this will work.

Is this what you mean and want?
