Hi.

SABnzbd doesn't support file associations directly, however you can use a third party program, see NZB File Openers here:https://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=38.0

The most common method for importing nzb files is to create a watched folder (see config>folders) and save your nzb's to there.

If you use firefox, you can also get the extension nzbdstatus which will automatically add nzb files to sabnzbd no matter where you save them (don't save them to your watched folder then).

Thanks for yours reply.

SABnzb status for Firefox run great for me.
And now, with your script I known how to assign NZB file to executable app.


Thanks.

Note that with nzbdstatus this script both isn't needed and can result in weirdness. nzbdstatus by default intercepts all nzbd downloads, sends them to sabnzbd, and then deletes them. So if you have both that script and nzbdstatus running, you might get dupes.
