Two categories, both set to "+Delete" and

Category: Default - Path: LocationA

Category: BBB - Path: LocationB

If i then queue something and sets its category to "BBB" it still ends up in the Default location??

Without more details, I cannot say anything sensible about this.
Category paths do work.
Are you also using the Sort functions?

Ah yes. So the two routines get in a fight?

Can I use "sort" with just filenames, ie no directory paths, and have the category take care of placement?

A Sort takes the category path as a root folder.
Should you choose so, you can also set a full path in the Sort expression.
The preview mode of sort will show what the completed path will look like.

Ah, nice.

"sp" ?

The field called "Processed Result" ? Because it doesn't add the root folder from the category to the output.

If Sort String is "/%sn/" then Processed Result is "/Show Name/"

Also, if I could ask. If you have a filename like


AAAA.BBBB.2012.MM.DD.xxxxxxxxxxxxx


(ie year,month,day)

Is there some way to have it auto sorted to an "aaaa bbbb" folder?

Possibly, with Date sorting. You'd have to fiddle a bit with the expression.
BTW: if you start the expression with a / then it's an absolute path and
the category path will not be prepended.
Without the / it will be relative and the category path will be prepended.

Ah, Windows habit, without the "/" it wouldn't work properly. Better remember not to add it here

Btw, you wrote "Should you choose sp, you can also set a full path in the Sort expression."

I can't figure out what "sp" means?

Just a typo.
"Should you choose to..."

heh, I thought it might be some abbreviation.

Thanks for your patience shypike!
