SABnzbd Forums

This is related to Ticket 300 in the already accepted features (see http://trac2.assembla.com/SABnzbd/ticket/300), but it is sufficiently different that I would like to raise it here too.

Problem: It often happens that the name of an NZB file or URL is quite different from its content, and afterwards, it may be difficult to remember what this particular download represented.

Suggested solution: When adding an NZB file or URL, I would like to specify the name of the download. Preferably in two locations:
1) When adding the URL on the home page (add an optional field that allows you to specify the name of the directory
2) In the queue, specify the name of the download directory.

Thanks for considering!

The next major release (0.5.0) will allow you to change the jobname afterwards in the queue.
Ticket 300 will be implemented too.

We're not very keen on setting a random destination folder (use the categories).
For two reasons: it would clutter the already crowded UI and
SABnzbd is primarily a tool for fully automated downloads.
Having so many interactive features makes no sense. It's not a Grabit or Newsleecher replacement.
