SABnzbd using incorrect folder structure?

[flvinny521]

In the "User Folders" config, my default base folder is listed as C:\Users\Username\Documents. As I understand it, this is hard coded by the program. From there, I have chosen to create relative paths to my complete and incomplete folders, which are "..\Downloads\Complete" and "..\Downloads\Incomplete". On my OS (Win 8.1), this should yield the following hierarchy:

Code: Select all

C:
  Users
      Username
         Documents
             Downloads
                 Complete
                 Incomplete
         Downloads
         Favorites
         Links

However, instead of creating a Downloads folder under the Documents folder, this is what SABnzbd is utilizing instead:

Code: Select all

C:
   Users
      Username
         Documents
         Downloads
             Complete
             Incomplete
         Favorites
         Links

It seems that the program is not actually using the noted default base folder, but is instead using C:\Users\Username, and then adding the relative complete and incomplete folders.

This seems to be confirmed in the Categories menu, where the default base folder is listed as C:\Users\Username\Downloads\Complete. Notice that the Documents folder is absent here where it was present in the "User Folders." Is my thinking correct in that the Categories folders should be nested within the Complete folder in the earlier menu? I was informed in IRC that this is not a typo, but it seems like the program is not respecting the base folder that it has indicated.

SABnzbd does it wrong, the "incomplete" and "complete" folders should have been in "c:\users\username\Downloads"

Fixing that is relatively easy, but it would break compatibility for existing users who upgrade.
Doing it the right way is on the list for 0.8.0.
(Good moment, because there will be some compatibility breaks anyway.)

Good to know, thanks. It seemed like a simple typo, but I'm a brand new user trying to wrap his head around this, Sonarr and CouchPotato, so I like to make sure I have half a clue about what's going on.
