i've searched forums and Wiki but found no way toclean postprocessed / extracted folder , file names.

Lets say i'm downloading movie called Ubuntu that got uploaded as Ubuntu.UNRATED.720p and i'd like to remove UNRATED part in postprocessed/extracted folder and file name. Same with Ubuntu.REPACK.720p. Is there anyway to do it in .5.Alpha11 ?

I know i can rename folder manually after download completes but i'm trying to get XBMC/PLEX scrape my finished download folder and with REPACK and UNRATED eft in the folder name scrapers are way off ( not just built in , other media managers are having troubles too )

I tried enabling movie sorting but i dont think it removes UNRATED/REPACK from folder/file name.

The easiest way to do it is to write a post-processing script.
That is, if you can write (simple) scripts.
For Windows you would do something like this:

General sorting in 0.5 will probably do what you want, all text after the YEAR value is ignored.

@echo off
cd /d %1
cd ..
set name=%3
set name=%name:.REPACK=%
set name=%name:.UNRATED=%
ren %3 %name%

Not sure why after the year but last few nzb's i got were formatted using following scheme ( name of the movie is Ubuntu ):

Ubuntu.UNRATED.720p.BluRay.x264-REFiNED
or
Ubuntu.REPACK.720p.Bluray.x264-CBGB

as you can see year is not used at all and i actually dont mind. I'd like to leave everything in place except be able to set few "keywords" that get removed EVERYTIME. Words like PROPER , REPACK , UNRATED or even BluRay and x264 i'd like to be able to remove.

Thanks !!!!

Is there some kind of hidden setting in .5.Alpha.11 like tv_country that i can try to use ?

I filed a feature request https://trac2.assembla.com/SABnzbd/ticket/340
No promises for a delivery date, but I think it has a good cost/benefit value.

Thanks .. i think it would be very valuable feature and not just for movies like my example Ubuntu , but also for TV episodes when they get REPACKed :-)

How about just the ability to change the name of a queued item before it downloads?

In release 0.5.0 you can change name as long as it's still downloading.

Tried to use your script per instruction in wiki but its not working. ( i changed %1 to $1 ). I'm sure i'm not doing it right but wiki is pretty thin. But i'm trying ... :-)

Windows uses %1, %2 for parameters.
Unix and OSX use $1, $2.

There are two sample scripts in the distribution.
Sample-PostProc.cmd
and
Sample-PostProc.sh

We don't have a tutorial for writing scripts, there are plenty on the Web.
