SABnzbd Forums

I have an nzb file in my downloads folder.
When i double click it, sabnzbd starts, my browser fires up and the localhost:8080 page is shown.
Then, for some reason, the nzb is added twice to the queue.
That is the only time this strange behaviour occurs. All other times everything goes well: when i save another nzb file in my downloads folder, sabnzbd automatically picks it up, adds it to the queue once and deletes the nzb.

The mandatory info:

Version: 0.5.4
OS: OSX
Install-type: DMG
Skin: classic green
Firewall Software: none
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes, happens every time. It was probably introduced maybe 6 months ago (VERY rough estimate, i might have slacked in downloading the newest version.)

By the way: thank you so much for this wonderful program. It's the best!!

You should never double click on files in the watched folder.
The NZB will be passed as a parameter to SABnzbd when it starts up and it will load it into the queue.
But it will also see a new file in the watched folder (the same one) and do it again.

BTW: did you set your "watched folder" the same as your download folder?
You should not do that. At least make the watched folder a sub folder of your download folder.

Same her under Win XP and 0.5.5 (and 0.5.4) version. I use chrome, with SABconnect de switch@sabnzbd.org extension.

When I select a collection of files and click on 'Create NZB' (for example in binsearch.info site), the NZB is correctly created and added twice in the queue.


Correction: bug due to Chrome extension, not present with SABConnect++
