Hi, an 8th user defined parameter for postprocessing scripts would be fantastic! That way i could e.g. add the real show name or the name of another script just for some of my accept RSS rules, but not all of them.
Event better, a comma-separated list of params, visualized as a textfield in the webIF.
What do you think?

Forget it.
In release 0.6.0 you'll get a pre-queue script that's more powerful than that.

wow sounds impressive!
But i do not understand how this could influence the postprocessing script. I just see the possibility of specifying script and category as return values, but we have to touch the script, an do not have the possibility to change such easy things on the webInterface, which would (in my opinion) be more easy for 90% of the users.
But either way - i like the pre-queue script idea!

You can have the pre-script add tags to the title that would be picked up by a post-script.
SABnzbd is primarily an automation tool, the less interactive use the better.
