SOLVED Can't see post processing scripts in dropdown menu

I recently reinstalled sabnzbd while trying to fix another problem, and created new problems for myself. I'm running SABnzbd Version: 0.6.8 on a headless Ubuntu server (v10.10)
I have a scripts folder set up (/home/darren/.sabnzbd/scripts) with a configuration file and two scripts in it. (autoProcessTV.cfg, autoProcessTV.py, and sabToSickbeard.py).

However, when I try to set the script dropdown I only have "Default" and "None" as options.


;D Sometimes I take one step forward and a couple back! ;D

Starting with 0.6.8 (or 0.6.7), the script has to be executable (on Linux). EDIT: for Windows the extension of the script needs to be listed in the PATHEXT variable (not the PATH).

So, set the x-bit on your script: "chmod +x <scriptname>", and try again.

Correction: for Windows the extension of the script needs to be listed in the PATHEXT variable.
Standard value is:
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE
