How do I configure SAB to unpack in the DL dir, THEN move?

So my temporary download folder is: C:\Media\PlexDownloads\Incomplete

Completed download folder (Via categories) is: C:\Media\PlexDownloads\drone


So the question I have: Is there any way to configure SABNZBd to unpack the files FIRST in the INCOMPLETE folder then move the completed file to the Drone folder?

Right now, it downloads to the incomplete folder, then unpacks directly to the completed (Drone) folder.

Thanks!!

No there is no way.
But why is that a problem?

Because I have a program (that's unrelated to Sab) that monitors that folder and auto-extracts files and it's messing things up because it sometimes sees the .rar files and starts extracting them before sab can get to them.

Doesn't it have an ignore functionality?
We also have the special option nomedia_marker (https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/configuration/1.2/special)
Where you can set any type of marker in the folder to mark it occupied, if your program expects some special file.

Yeah, it does but, it's looking for rar files, so it will also find the sab rars.

This looks like it will do!

Thanks,
