SABnzbd Forums

This has been bothering me for a while now, but despite options to replace dots with spaces and spaces with underscores, some people may prefer to have spaces replaced with dots. I have modified the latest source code to include this feature, added the switch, descriptions, and relevant code. Any chance of merging in this feature? There is a thread that was using workarounds and asking for this a while ago:

Instead of using workarounds, I've implemented the option directly. Sorry if there isn't a better way to do this, but I don't know how else something could be committed.

It's not that it's very difficult to implement, but SABnzbd is already drowning in too many options.
Next time we clear up the options, this would be a sensible addition.
On a personal level, I still wonder what people think is wrong with spaces.

Thanks for the reply shypike. I agree about the many options comment. I was going to code it to allow for from/to replacement as open fields (e.g., convert spaces to dots, or dots to spaces), but this was a lazier approach.

I actually would switch all my folders over to spaces, but given that I already have several hundreds/thousands of folders, I'd rather just keep using periods. I may end up writing a python script to convert all my folders with spaces to periods instead, but laziness is making it easier to just manually rename folder locations when adding things to the sabnzbd queue.
