UnRARing

I've recently installed SABnzbd and I'm having an issue with unRARing files. More specifically, I am having trouble with unrared files being  dumped in sub-directories named after the original NZB. Is it possible to set SAB to instead dump the files into the category directory instead of category\nzb_filename?

I am running SABnzbd on a Win 7 box.

Thank you for any assistance you could provide, I've searched for a couple hours fruitlessly to find a solution.



Version: 0.5.4 Final
OS: Windows 7
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: Windows Firewall
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? Probably

That's the way SABnzbd has been designed.
You'll have to write your own post-processing script to accomplish this.

BTW: the Sorting option may (partially) solve this issue.
For single file downloads it can collect stuff in a single folder.

One problem with moving everything to a single folder is deciding what to
do with identically named files from different jobs.
