Changes to releases lately?

[psykix]

There appear to have been some changes to releases lately although I am not sure what it is.

Sometimes after post processing, I am left with a load of superfluous files with numerical file extensions.

Is there any way to clean these up, as it's not really practical to add all the numbers to the cleanup list!

Does anyone know what the change is and why it has been done?

Cheers!

Posters are using increasingly odd file naming schemes.
It's also possible that the NZB contains duplicate files.
SABnzbd doesn't overwrite files but renames them (like: file.ext file.ext.1 file.ext.2).

Hmm.. not sure what to do then - at the moment I pick them up because I have to manually move the files across to my NAS - however since you fixed the UNC path issue related to the sorter for the next release I was hoping to automate it.

SABnzbd will move all those files too though unless I can figure a way around it. Is there any way to do the opposite to the cleanup list and say keep only the following file extensions (like a whitelist)

Cheers..

You can add a simple post-processing script.
This should do the trick (on Windows).

Code: Select all

@echo off
cd /d "%1"
del *.1 *.2 *.3 *.4 *.5 *.6 *.7 *.8 *.9

It will not prevent a move to the NAS first.
