SABnzbd Forums

I'm trying to maintain the original downloaded file name.  And the %fn pattern is supposed to preserve this according to the documentation.  The substitution occurs in the interface (i.e. the examples shows /Volumes/Media/file), but when the server processes a download, it creates a directory structure like %fn/NZB/file, where there is an actual directory named "%fn".

What's your exact sort string and which sort type do you use?

Hate to dig up an old thread, but I am having the exact same issue.
This under 'Generic Sorting'
w/ Enable Movie Sorting Checked off
My sort string is:
%fn/%fn.%ext
What ends up happening is I get %fn/{the original file from the RAR name}

Very late, I know, but I'm pleased to announce that this will finally be solved in release 0.6.3.

Awesome!

I've version 0.7.9. and the same problem.
Is it back?

I've heard "same problem" too often, it seldom is true.
Can you please explain what happens in your specific situation.

My sort string looks like this: %s.n/Season.%s/%fn and i end instead of it changing the filename to the original filename it puts the files in a folder called %fn, inside the season folder, hopefully u can help me fix this problem.

The syntax required is a bit weird here; you should be using this:
%s.n/Season.%s/%fn.%ext
Otherwise SABnzbd thinks you want to name the folder and not the file.
(And botches up the folder name instead).
