Hi all, i am a recent sab convert. Firstly thanks to everybody involved in the creation of sabnzbd, it is an amazing piece of work. I am very satisfied with my setup and i managed to automate it as much as i need but i still have a small problem.
I like to have my temporary folder and completed(unrared) the sam and it works. The problem is that when the download is finished and the rars unrar, the folder is renamed to [nzbname.1] This is because when the unrar takes place a second folder with the same name is created so the .1 is added.
Anyway i can bypass this?
.1 Added to folder name

Re: .1 Added to folder name
No it doesn't. That's why you get the .1wevotedno wrote: and it works.
You should use a sub folder of "complete" as your temporary folder.
Re: .1 Added to folder name
maybe a script to rename the folder after completion?
Re: .1 Added to folder name
Why write a script ??
Just change the set-up of your folder and you are ok :
Examples :
Option 1
Download folder : C://Downloads
Complete folder : C://Complete
So 2 different folders !!
Option 2
Download folder : C://Complete/Downloads
Complete folder : C://Complete
So downloads is a subfolder of Complete
When you do 1 of the above .. there will be NO .1 added
Ofcourse you can change the path/names to match your system set-up

Re: .1 Added to folder name
Thanks to all for the replies. I know all that regarding the different folders. I was just wondering if there was a way to use the same folder path without having the .1 added. Since it is possible with all other newsreaders i was just wondering.
ex. My movie.nzb.
A folder is created on C:\desktop with the name my movie. When the download is complete, it unrars WITHIN that same folder without having to create a second folder called "my movie" in order to place the complete folder in it. That is when the .1 is added, because sab needs to create another folder with the same name.
