SABnzbd Forums

It would be really convenient to have the Category be able to be modified from the QUEUE with custom categories that aren't in the pre-defined drop down list, or alternately have a new field Tags where tags could be entered.

e.g.: when something is in the Queue, and you select say MOVIE as the category, you would have the option of appending or changing it to: MOVIE 720P IPHONE.

alternately, the 720P and IPHONE could go into a TAG field to keep it cleaner.

Don't quite understand.
A newly created category would not have any attributes, so it would serve no purpose.
Also, what do you expect SABnzbd does with the tags?

My Post processing script reads the Category to determine how to proceed. Instead of creating a bunch of commonly used variants, I thought it would be slick to allow for modifying the Category on the fly when something is in the Queue.

If my Category is just Movie, it preps the movie for AppleTV, but if the category is Movie 720P, it does so in 720P (source permitting.) and if it is Movie iPhone it preps both AppleTV and iPhone versions, etc. But it can be a bit overwhelming to have all these possible variations pre-programmed into the category list. A Tag field would work as an on the fly 'notes' as well and also keep the category list more clean.

I think it will make the UI a bit awkward to the benefit of a limited audience.
Instead I suggest that you add the tags to the title.
Your script can read these and remove them from the title (and rename the folder).
Even so, it's an interesting suggestion.

Thanks
