I had been trying to use fn for the dir name for my downloads:
%fn/%title (%y).%ext

It appears that it renames the file properly how I want but it generates a directory literally named "%fn". So I wasnt sure if you just weren't allowed to use fn for the dir name or if I was doing something wrong?

I usually like my setup to be something like movie_name_year_etc_etc/renamed_movie (replace underscores with dots, the dots make phpBB think it's a link)
Which sab seems to do in it's intermediate/temporary directory, but I couldnt get it to do it on final output

Yes you can only use %fn for the filename, you should use %dn for the directory.

thanks, so is there anyway to get a dir name that is closer to what is used during unpacking? since using dn ends up with spaces between each component rather than the original representation

If you want the name during Unpacking, then just don't use Sorting at all.
Or only use %fn, don't specify the directory name and it should use the original name automatically.
