Something new about this?

Have you tried 0.7.17 Final?

Yep, sab still wont take the password out of the filename that i give the download entry.

It works when you enter "my title/password" in the bottom field of the Add-NZB dialog.
It also works when you send a my_show{{password}}.nzb to the watched folder.
When exactly doesn't it work?

I add a nzb via chrome addon, on the sabnzb gui i choose the download entry and want to give it the name: "my_show{{password}}"
In versions before 7.17RC2 it worked and was translated into "my title/password"

If i use the "my title/password" version it cuts the whole filename and dont take the password. Instead it just name the download "my title+password" without any password.

It could be that passwords aren't handled properly through the API, I'll check and fix if needed.
The SABnzbd GUI has a separate password box, so it doesn't support the other forms any more.

Then that is the problem!
If you removed it, okay. But I thought it was broken...
Couldn't you add this again? I used this very frequently since i don't have nzbs files with a password in the filename.

Yes please add this extremely convenient feature again! There's no reason to remove it.

Not before 0.8.0. It was removed because it gave a a lot of problems,
due to overcomplexity in the implementation.
Will be redesigned for 0.8.0

Embedded passwords are still supported in the API, I checked.
Embedded passwords can be entered in the NZB details page again (in 0.7.18) thanks to a patch contributed by user.

Thank you for this
