Make Watched Folder downloads go somewhere else?

Post by Darkuni »

I'm sure this is possible, but I couldn't find a solution in my searching here and Google.

Essentially, I just want any files downloaded by an NZB placed in the WATCH FOLDER to go somewhere else after they are downloaded, extracted, etc.

I imagine post processing scripts may be useful here - but I'm not sure if sab differentiates where the NZBs come from.

Even a link to a related resource would be much appreciated. Thank you.

In Config->Categories you can set a destination path.
A different one for each category, if you want.

Right, I was kinda looking at that. But I am not sure how to make the Watched Folder NZBs process with that category setting ...?

On all my apps, I have choices which category to download under. But the Watched Folder seems to be its own entity.

If you create sub folders named after categories in the Watched folder,
the category will be automatically assigned.

BINGO! That's incredible. I knew with the power of Sab that this was completely possible.

Thanks SO MUCH!
