SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

i have an issue of which i believe i am not the only one.
The thing is my NAS does not allow root directory access, therefore i can't access any script files from different apps (sabnzbd, couchpotato, sickbeard, etc.) and copy them into one single folder. As the script folder is set globally i can only run one script from one folder (or app) at a time.
Wouldn't it be easier to select the script folder under categories for each category right next to where you select the script from the drop down?

Or am i missing something and there is a work around?

Thanks!

I don't understand: it's not possible to just place all scripts in the same folder? Just copy and paste?

I understand, but just make a copy of the ones you need for sabnzbd to a folder that's accessible for sabnzbd?

I also cannot access the apps source folder to copy it from, as they are installed on the root directory as well. Obviously the apps have permission to look into those directories, i am just not able to manually browse and modify them.
But you are right, i could find the script somehow on the internet and save them in one accessible folder.

However, i am wondering if all you guys copy all your scripts everytime into one folder to use in sabnzbd? I mean they are already present in the different apps directories where they belong and when you setup categories in sabnzbd, you most likely do that for the respective app. Also if you modify the settings in the app, you will have to copy the updated script file again into the one folder sabnzbd uses. Why not just add the folder option to categories instead of setting it globally?
It would save time, hassle and redundant files.

Catch my drift?

I see.
Well mostly we don't do this because users mostly have 1 or maybe 2 scripts that they setup once and then never have to change.
Also modifying the Categories page would make it too complicated (too many options) for regular users that don't need these advanced options.
