SABnzbd Forums

I have on quite a number of occasions needed to re-bookmark the same Newzbin file, only to have it ignored by sabNZBD because it shows up in the processed bookmarks as a already downloded file. I cannot for the life of me find where on earth this file exists to purge it.... I would like to get a better understanding of how booksmarks are handled by this app.

I have been impressed more often than not on how easier it has gotten over the years, especially with the improvements in 0.5..... but this pesky little bug always fustrates me.

Anyone?

I have a feeling it is on the newzbin side and not on the OSX side of the equation.....

I have scoured the sites looking for a glimmer of insight, to no avail.... so any help would be greatly appreciated...

There's unfortunately no way to clear processed bookmarks via the UI. An enhancement to rectify this is being tracked.

To remove them now, shut down SABnzbd, browse to your settings folder (in the 'cache' folder within this folder) and delete bookmarks.sab. Restart SABnzbd and it'll be clean.

thanks for the insight..... I still have some bastard bookmarks not downloading...

Is there a way to get them to go to the right directory from just straight downloading as opposed to bookmarking?

for example...

I have a job that stays in the bookmarks to no avail.... once I just choose to save the NZB to the /download/dir...sabnzbd does its thing and gets it....but will not file it under the TV folder as if I had bookmarked it... it only saves it under the generic /completed/dir with the ID_file name tag for the folder name

is there another setting somewhere else to control where sabnzbd saves the finished files for the the /download/dir nzb's?

Just type in the report number in SABnzbd's URL entry box.

Thanks for the info inpheaux.  I was having the same problem.  That solved my problems though.
