Recursive unpack

Post by GerardH »

I use Sabnzbd+ (0.4.5) on a linux system.

Everything goes well except on downloads which contain archives.

For example:
I want to download TEST.RAR, which contains 10 .zip files.

i start to download TEST. It consists of 10 files test.001 - test.010.

Sab downloads/checks the files and then starts to unpack everything.
The end result is NOT the 10 .zip files, but sab will also unpack the archives within the TEST.RAR.

So it will unpack the 10 zip-files which is something i don't want !

Is this a bug or a feature :)

It is a feature, however we will possibly make it optional in the future, there are some cases where recursive unpacks are useful, and some where it is not.

Ok, so its a feature, is it possible to turn it off? (as it is not an option, is it possible to change the source or something?)

Thanks!

In this specific case: turn off the option for unzip. Config->Switches.
Most of the time the primary layer is RAR.
