move unpacked files only and not whole folder?

Post by mr.sparkle »

Not sure if this is possible or perhaps I haven't set it up correctly but right now, when a file(s) is unpacked and gets moved to my designated category folder, say movies, it gets placed into a folder inside movies, named after the nzb. Can I have it extracted and moved directly into the movies folder? I don't mind if nfo and samples get dumped in there, too.

Thanks in advance.

No, that's the way it works.
You check out the Sorting functions for that, but they're a bit complicated.
See the Wiki.

Thanks, shypike

Generic sorting with a simple %fn.%ext did the trick sending the movie to the right folder, although the pars and nfo files came along for the ride.

Question: for folder names with spaces (running ubuntu), no I need to put "\ \" for spaces in the category paths?

Set up a "clean" list in  Config->General. That's a list of file extensions that will be removed.

No, embedded spaces are OK without extra slashes (in fact you're not allowed to use them).
Leading are trailing spaces are removed.
