SABnzbd Forums

Let me just say that I just went from using grabit to sab, and it was like waking up from a 50 year long comatose! SAB rocks, you guys!

I'm currently using the smpl skin (v1.3), along with the 0.5rc3 version of sab..

I just have a few minor suggestions, which I guess will be both useful for everyone and not that difficult to implement. I checked to see if this were requested before, and I couldn't find anything.

* the ability to totally remove the graph at the bottom
* the ability to make the "config" menu be contracted as default, and only let it be expanded when you actually are changing/browsing the settings (maybe something like the pause-menu?)
* the ability to customize how many items are listed on each "page" of home/queue/history

I'm not a big fan of RSS-checking and auto-download. Maybe it's possible to make SAB remember the info it downloads from RSS, and then whenever I come back, I can easily look through what were posted while I were away, check some boxes next to what I want, and then it will get downloaded? Something like what the preview of RSS's looks like now..

We have two alternative skins.
Plush should be more to your liking.

You can use the preview mode of RSS to do what you describe.
As long as you don't check the enable box, there's no automatic scanning.

I've tried all skins, but the smpl were the best.

So the "preview" is more than just a preview of the 25 newest items? If I let it check every 20th minute during a whole night, the next day it will have, let's say, 200 new posts? What about making a separate RSS "page", where the RSS's can be listed, without all the configuration settings and stuff taking up place? Just a simple list of the name of the RSS's and the number of new posts since last time..

The RSS preview just shows the current content of the RSS source
with the filtering resullts.
What you want can better be done outside SABnzbd,
like in a decent feed reader program, Google, Yahoo pipes etc.

The purpose of SABnzbd is automation, it's not a feed aggregator.
