Extract directly to "completed" folder?

Post by Useneter »

Hello and thanks for the great SABnzbd.

One question from me: it currently seems that SABnzbd first unpacks the files to the "work" folder, and then moves the whole thing to the "completed" folder. Following a successful check/repair, is it possible to extract directly to the final folder? It seems an unnecessary step to first extract and then move. For large files, it greatly increases disk activity and total completion time. Or maybe I overlooked an option? Thank you.

It doesn't work the way you describe it.
Unpacking is from the "incomplete" to the "complete" folder.
Where "complete" is the final destination path.

Thanks for the reply. I remember SABnzbd reporting both "Unpacking" and "Move" (or "moving") while completing the queue, on a single job. Both of these took a significant amount of time. In the folder options, I see 3 different folders: The default base folder, the Temporary Download folder, and the completed download folder. Does SABnzbd always works as you describe, or does that depend on the Processing setting?
