Request for combining jobs

[krypton]

A useful feature, or at least I think so, but unfortunately either I can't find the option to combine jobs or it doesn't exist in SABnzbd currently.

Something like this:



EDIT: Why would it be useful? Say you got 2 or 4 incomplete jobs, but combined they would create one complete job. Currently you need to download all the incomplete or partial jobs, let them fail, combine them manually and then tell SABnzbd to retry for it to complete the job.

Just copy all files into the "incomplete" folder of one of them and retry that one.
Implementing this in the user interface seems to me overkill.
The concept isn't exactly self-explanatory.

I've already been doing it that way. It's slow and imo should be possible to do while downloading from the web gui.
I really don't see how this would be overkill in any way. Maybe give us the option to do this in the NZB edit view?

Many ways to implement this...
Remove job(s), combine NZB files, add new combined job.
Download 2 or more jobs into same folder.
Add NZB option in NZB edit view.

Probably more ways to do it.

How come you download three separate NZBs, if they are about one post?
I would assume that you'd need some additional files after a download fails.
For that you can enter an additional NZB file in the retry dialog.

Partially DMCA'd, incomplete posts in separate newsgroups or separate par2 fills for bad uploads.
