May I point out that SABnzbd (since 0.6.3) has the option to work without job folders?
The top of the Category page says:

Ending the path with an asterisk * will prevent creation of job folders.

Wooo! Thanks shypike.

Is it possible to move only certain file types like videos to a specific folder? (AVI, MKV etc)

No, you'll have to write a script for that :)\

Found this script, use it all the time... but everytime I do, despite the fact that the file(s) do get moved up a folder and the folder does get removed after, I always get the following in the sabnzbd log after:

"Too many files to move, aborting..."

Basically, it displays the ELSE message even though it ran through the 'if' just fine. Anyone else experiencing this as well? Any ideas on how to fix this? I am using the script exactly as it is in GHDpro's attached file (and GHDpro's initial post itself, with the update)
