SABnzbd Forums

I'm using SABnzbd for Windows ver. 0.7.20
I am unable to change the default folder paths.

Under Config | Folders
1. Change the path of Temporary Download Folder to C:\Downloads\incomplete
2. Change the path of Completed Download Folder to C:\Downloads\complete
3. Click Save Changes
4. Exit and return and you will notice that the settings are back to their original state.

Sonarr is complaining about the default path and I need to change it to a shorter one.

There seems to be an issue in using forward slash / and backslash \ in the folder paths.

I checked the Config File: C:\Users\drjoe\AppData\Local\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini and there are no folder path entries. Is there a way to add those entries manually until the bug is fixed? Thanks for your help.

Could be a web browser bug.
Stop SABnzbd and edit the sabnzbd.ini file directly, using Notepad.

There's no problem with mixing forward and backward slashes, Windows can deal with that.

Thanks shypike for your quick response. Actually, I had tried it in both IE11 and Chrome on my Windows 8.1 Pro laptop. I was able to isolate the issue. Here is what happened:
Sonarr for Windows complained about mixed paths when I attempted to configure it with sabnzbd as the download client.

Under the Folders tab, I had:
1. Default Base Folder: C:\Users\drjoe\Documents (with backslashes)
2. Temporary Download Folder set to downloads/incomplete (with forward slash)
3. Completed Download Folder set to downloads/complete (with forward slash)

I tried to change 2 and 3 above to C:\Downloads\incomplete and C:\Downloads\complete but it would not let me save them.

However, I was able to save them after I edited the Folder/Path values and saved them in the Categories tab.

In any case, I was able to get the paths to be all consistent so that Sonarr does not complain. So if I may suggest one thing is for the Windows install to set all the paths by default to use the backslash.

Again, thank you for your support and I much appreciate it.

Because SABnzbd is a multi-platform app, it may mix path types at times.
Windows has no issue with that, too bad Sonarr doesn't handle it well.
I'll see whether it can be fixed.
