Hi all,

Windows 7. SAB 0.7.0
I use the "S01E05 Season Folder" preset for sorting. When I download an episode of a show that already has a folder in my completed download path, instead of putting the new download in that already existing folder, a new folder is created for the show with a ".1" at the end of the folder name. I've made sure there are write permissions on every pre-existing show folder. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be causing SAB to create new show folders instead of using the folder that already exists for the show? BTW, the names are exactly the same. I've tested by downloading the same exact episode repeatedly from the same NZB, and every time a new show folder is created with the .1 trailer (or .2, .3, etc.)

Here is the sort string I use: "%sn/Season %s/%sn - S%0sE%0e - %en.%ext"

Thank you!

I cannot reproduce your problem at all.
What you can do is set SABnzbd's logging level to "Debug" (Status page).
Download two episodes from one show and (when the same problem happens)
email the resulting log file to bugs@sabnzbd.log
(The log file can be downloaded from the Status page).
Please ZIP the file and add the URL of this post to the email.
