SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

I download a lot of different things from the same couple of newsgroups. So for me, applying a category to a download based on the newsgroup-name doesn't really work. I would love to be able to use keywords instead. In that case, for instance, I could assign my 'ps3' games downloads to the proper (games) category. And my UFC downloads to my 'MMA category'. No essential feature, but quite handy!

Thanks for all the great work, btw...

I assume you mean scanning for keyword in the NZB filename?
If so, there are ways of embedding the category in the filename.
"{{games}My game.nzb" will put "My game.nzb" in the queue under category "games".
Also when using the watched folder, you can use subfolders named after your categories.

Hi,

You assumed correctly I appreciate the help and suggestions but it would not work for me because I use nzbStatus plugin for firefox that sends the .nzb directly to sab without user intervention (without first saving the .nzb to disk). I would like to automate the downloading process as much as possible.
I could stop using nzbStatus and start saving nzbfiles manually in the appropriate watch(sub)folder but that would not be more efficient than my current method of manual assigning categories to downloads.

Do you mean the 0.6.x alpha?
If so, I will check that one out.
