SABnzbd Forums

As I'm sure many others have noticed, NZB names often contain much more information than SABnzbd's builtin sorting functions can handle. In order for, say, TV shows to be put into the right directories, renaming is often, but not always, required. It would be a great timesaver if there was an option for SABnzbd to preview the name (directory included) files in a running/queued download will have after being processed by SABnzbd's sorting algorithms, as this would show if NZBs following a certain naming scheme (say, episodes from the same set of uploads) have to be renamed manually before.

Not sure what you're getting at.
What's the preview for?
What can you do before the download finishes?

Usenet article names often have the name of the download (in my TV show example, of the format Show.Name.SxxExx.Quality-RELEASEGROUP) enclosed in brackets or parentheses, or the forum where the download was originally posted on prepended to it. This tends to confuse automatic renaming functions which, e.g. in the case of brackets, will read the show name as something like "[ Show Name". But as they are pretty good with some other naming schemes, sometimes even with the original article name specified as the NZB name in SABnzbd, the renaming functions will put the episodes in the right folders and rename them correctly. Therefore I'd like to see a preview of how the program's sorting functions would rename/move the files in one NZB, based on the NZB name, so I can see whether they can already parse that name correctly or I need to manually strip all the brackets and other garbage.
