I have searched through this forum and just could not find an answer to my specific problem, so here goes my first post.
My current Default Base Folder is : /Users/X (Which is on my solid state hard drive "SSD". However I am running 2 hard drives on my macbook and have a hard drive named "MEH" where, in an older version of sabnzdb I used to store my files in MEH/Done, MEH/Incomplete. What do I need to do, exactly, to change my Default Base folder from /Users/X to /MEH?

Re: Changing the Default Base Folder on a Mac
You can only change it when you start up the app with a parameter,
which isn't very practical for OSX.
Isn't it enough to move "complete" and "incomplete"?
The rest uses up very little disk space.

Re: Changing the Default Base Folder on a Mac
How do I change complete and incomplete to go to my other hard drive. Whenever I try to change the destination, it just sticks whatever I put into the parameters for those folders inside my default area. I just need it to be on my larger hard drive.
Re: Changing the Default Base Folder on a Mac
On an OSX system, drives aren't called /MEH.
They're normally called something like /Volumes/MEH.
Make sure the drive is mounted BEFORE SABnzbd is started.

Re: Changing the Default Base Folder on a Mac
If I try to put it into Volumes/MEH, it puts it into my SSD/User/Volumes/MEH folder, rather than my hard drive. Everything worked perfectly fine with the old version.
So there is not way to change it?

Re: Changing the Default Base Folder on a Mac
The only reason SABnzbd will change paths is when they are not visible
or not accessible. That behaviour han't changed.
From what you're describing, I cannot determine what's going on with your system.
Which SABnzbd version did work for you?
