Multiple Paths for Categories
It would be nice if we could set multiple paths for categories. On my media server I have 2 empty hard drives and one partially full. H: has some room I: and J: are empty. My temp folder is L:\temp. If I could set, lets say movies, to use H:\movies, I:\movies and J:\movies, I wouldn't have to keep an eye on how full each hard drive is. If H: has 10GB left and my download is 12GB then it would toss it on I:, but if the next download is 5GB then it would go on H:. Maybe some type of leave off also, so it will only fill the hard drive until it has 5GB left or whatever the user sets.

Re: Multiple Paths for Categories
I wouldn't say it's an extreme special case. It would be useful for anyone with a file/media server with multiple drives. A quick look at hardocp, avsforum, wegotserved, etc shows that this isn't an uncommon thing to do nowdays. There's already a check to see if the temp folder drive is too full. This would be an extension of that really.

Re: Multiple Paths for Categories
I'm already at 6TB and getting pretty much full. I have another 10 bays to add hard drive. I'll probably go to 10TB next time I add drives.pair of dimes wrote: Just make an 8TB nas. ::) :P
Maybe I'll do that if I ever get really bored. It probably wouldn't take too long to whip up in python.A pre-processing script feature was just added for the queue.
You could set up something to re-assign categories based on free space on drives
