Hello sabnzbd-Team,

I discovered following bug (?) since several versions now.

Bug-Shortinfo:
sabnzbd forgets after a PC-restart my custom names for Download/Job-names, also it forgets the chosen category for it.

My system-info:
OS: Windows 7, ULTiMATE, x64, german
sabnzbd: v0.7.7

Bug-Report:
I usually add a NZB-file via nzbindex.nl and sometimes the NZB-filename is something like "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.par2", so sabnzbd chooses that as "Download/Job-Name".
I change it then, for example, to "Ubuntu Quantal Quetzal", and choose the category "Linux". So far, so good.
But sometimes I recognize after a PC-restart, that all my remaining downloads has again the original Job-name (e.g. "ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.par2") + "standard" as category. Then I have to re-do all the steps again, which I described before.

I guess, Windows does not close sabnzbd correctly, when it shuts down?!

If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me .
Thanks .

Kind regards,
Widofnir

Looks like a case of bad termination of SABnzbd.
It's better to stop SABnzbd first, it can be a bit slow
because it needs to flush the article cache to disk
and finish any running post processing job.
We generally recommend running SABnzbd as a Windows Service.
Search our Wiki for instructions.

Thank you for your quick answer .

Ahh, ok, will do that .
I just used the "Autostart"-feature, which comes with "SABnzbd-0.7.7-win32-setup.exe".

For everyone else, who encountered the same problems:
SABnzbd as a Windows Service (sabnzbd wiki)

The Tray-menu (0.7.0+) will not be shown (a Service cannot do this)

Mhhh, I guess, I will also look for an alternative.

Kind regards,
