download file not folder

Post by MARKYB0Y »

Hi all,

hopefully a quick and silly question

when I download a NZB the result is the file within a folder, is it possible to have just the final file downloaded and it not to be placed in a folder?

I would prefer to have a movie folder with movie1.avi, movie2.avi rather than those movies being in movie1 folder and movie2 folder

thanks

0.5 will come with a sorting option that can move your downloads into the parent directory.

Um, of course I looked at the documentation first, but that doesnt help me, I do not want it sorted into clever folders, I dont want folders at all, I just want the files in the completed folder

This question has been answered serveral times.
It requires a user post processing script.
For Windows:

Code: Select all

@echo off
move %1\* \WHAT_EVER_YOUR_FOLDER_IS
rmdir /s/q %1
