Always puts file in its own folder - How do you turn this off?

jericko · Post by **jericko** » April 22nd, 2011, 4:09 pm

When I download a TV show/movie, it unrars it and moves it to my completed folder, but it puts it in its own folder and renames the folder but not the file. I do not want it to be in its own folder, rather just the file in the root of my completed folder if that makes sense. I can not seem to find this setting anywhere.

Thanks

Dive into the Sorting options.
It's a bit too complicated, but usable.

Same problem here.

Already tried to include the category I don't want to have individual folders in sorting, remove from sorting, leave sorting string blank... No dice. I would also like to know how to download files under some categories to x:\download\category\filename.extension instead of x:\download\category\filename\filename.extension

The correct string should be "%fn.%ext", right?

For seasons I use this:
%sn/Season %s
It will get me all episodes in a single folder.
series-name/Season X/

The alternative is to use this basic user script:
@echo off
move /y %1\* %1\..
rd /q %1

When saving to separate folders it works fine. the question is how to save to the default category folder, not a subfolder in it.

The alternative is to use this basic user script:...

Is there a way to use separate scripts to different categories (on SABnzbd 0.6.0RC2)? The point is not to use this in ALL categories, just some.

edit: I see now there is a way to refine the script to recognize the category. But still I'd like to see the behavior I stated above.
edit2: Bummer. The script didn't work.

Thanks shypike, you were correct, it was in the sorting options.

Really, what skins you guys are using? I can't find this settings.

So far if I add a download to category XYZ it goes to its own folder (a subfolder inside the category folder) and the partial solution to have a script running must be done manually here (changed while in the queue), the script won't run even thought I put it in the categories AND default RSS behavior for that particular feed.

I guess there must be something wrong with my .ini. I just recently upgraded to 0.6.0 RC2 from a really old build. Maybe I'll clean everything and start from scratch $:-\$

There have been quite some changes in the last year.
In principle the sabnzbd.ini file should be compatible in that old ini files should be accepted by new versions.
However, I must admit that we did not test every conceivable upgrade path.
Primarily from the later 0.5.x releases.

I am running the plush gold - and I updated recently from a really old version (over a year old)

The setting I changed was on the sorting tab under Generic Sorting, I choose "default" then hit the button on the in the middle that says "no folders"

Hope that helps you.
