SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

I am new on this forum and need some help with the ftype trick to autosave de .nzb file to the wachted folder.

On de webpage is a How To section. In there is a nice trick to autosave the .nzb file to your watched folder, but it won't work for me. http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/howto

I have tried everything but ....nothing. By filetypes in Windows xp stays that the .nzb is correct connected to the .cmd file but the .nzb will not copy automaticly in de watched folder.

Can someone help me with this trick?

Thx

List the batchfile here.
Did you ever associate NZB files with another program (like Grabit or Newsleecher)?
What happens if you double click on an NZB file in Windows Explorer?

Do you "run" the NZb file from the web browser or "save" it? (you should use "run").
There is a possibility that your web browser has other ideas about NZB files, check its MIME settings.
For Firefox check Options, Applications Tab.
For IE, I'm not sure, check out MS's helppages.

Thanks for you help:

The batch file:

@echo off
copy /y "%1" "d:\nzbscan"

There are no other programs linked to .nzb file. I used a clean install of xp and only sabnzbd+ running on it.
If i double click on a .nzb file on my xp computer is goes ok. I do a copy to de d:\nzbscan dir. This works fine.

I use Run when i download a nzb file. I use internet explorer but cannot find any mime settings?

So, if I understand correctly, it's only the Run option in Internet Explorer that doesn't work?

Yes i use Run (when downloading .nzb file) and for 1 sec. you see a dos (cmd) box and the it is gone but no .nzb file in de d:\nzbscan folder :S

Just a hunch, leave remove the quotes around the %1.

Or switch to Firefox 

good tip, i have removed all the quotes " and rename the path to 8.3 and it works

Thanks
