User-defined Categories {{Prefix Name}} in Watchfolder

Post by rvrutten »

When category contains a space or punctuation marks in the name, e.g. "family guy" or in my case "tv - family guy", the prefix name functionality in the watched folder does not work.

On Wiki:

Code: Select all

Filename Prefix
If an NZB file has a prefix, for examle "{{movies}}My favourite movie.nzb", it will be handled as the file "My favourite movie.nzb", having category "movies".
Without spaces or punctuation marks it works fine.

I would really like it if this is supported.

This works OK.
{{tv}}tv - family guy.nzb
is processed properly.
The file still needs to end with ".nzb".

Hi Shypike,

yes, the filename with that is fine. But my remark is about the name of the category.
So that would look like this:

{{tv - family guy}}Family_Guy_S09E05_720p_HDTV_X264_DIMENSION.nzb

That doesn't work unfortunatly.

OK, I'm afraid this isn't supported now.
We can do that for the next major release.
I think using sub-folders named after the category should work.
(Or rename the category :) )

Using subfolders is a good alternative for now.

thank you for considering this to be supported!
