Hy, I would like to know if there is a setting that allows SABnzbd to automatically rename the downloaded folder to the .nzb file within it? eg:-

Obviously this may be useless with obfuscated archives with randomly generated filenames in them.

Thanks for this excellent usenet downloader !

thanks for that, i tried the switches for movie sorting but nothing happens (?)
currently sabnzbd does a great job downloading and unpacking, but to the directory name of the nzb name - nzb 600 faavavavd 76454 dgdgddu
all i want to do is rename each downloaded directory to a meaningful name, off the nzb file which is usually - This is a test dir ABC

i think i'll modify 1 of my scripts to do this post download, it would be great if sabnzbd did this, more efficient 8)

The Deobfuscate.py script will do it for you :)
