Beta 4 not downloading into Category Folders

[jp22382]

Hello,

I upgraded from Beta 2 to Beta 4 and have a couple issues.

1) My downloads are no longer going into newzbin category folders, despite the option being enabled.
2) All of my downloads are going into folders with .1 on the end
      Example: Name (Year).1

Is this an isolated bug? I just copied the beta 4 release over my beta 2 installation, used the same config file.

Nothing was in my queue when I updated it.

I got this too, although didn't see the .1 as they'd finished and unpacked before I looked.

so, to be clear - they unpack into the root unpack folder whereas B2 worked properly

to solve this, I created categories, specifying folders in which to place them e.g.

movies subfolder was movies

then unpacks went in to subfolders BUT the postproccessing script did not run (option was "default" in category), so I was specific about which postproc to run for the category and it still does not run the PP script.

any ideas?

If this happened when going from Beta2 to Beta4, read this: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=615.0
Is it gone after starting with the --clean option?

Otherwise I would need more details.

BTW the README.txt file recommends not to overwrite previous installations.

I had a clean queue
I also renamed the old directory before installing the new version into the old directory name
I did a --clean

I see what's happening.  I think there may be 2 discrete problems

I am using sabnzbstatus newzbin plugin for firefox - I don't know if that's relevant.

problem1.  Items that don't have a MAPPED category listed no longer get a their newzbin category assigned automatically, that's why they are not going into the folders
problem2.  if there is a mapped category that says use the default PP script it doesn't


the log indicates that the category has been found.

2008-05-09 19:10:48,858::INFO::[newzbin] Successfully fetched Dark Heaven (2002) (cat=Movies) (msgid_3046275 Dark Heaven (2002).nzb)

but the item in the web interface list says category is "none"

so

delete mapped category movies
add a movie with firefox plugin
category is "none", but PP script (for me) is postproc.bat
map a category to movies and say PP script is default
add a movie with firefox plugin
category is movies, but PP script is "none"
in mapped categories, specify for movies that PP script is postproc.bat
everything works as expected

I hope that makes sense

1. You now have to set the newzbin category explictly
    This done automatically when you have no categories defined and add the default newzbin mapping.
    This was done at the request of other users, but it was not mentioned in the release notes.
    It's a bit of an arbitrary choise really.

2. The "Default" value for script in categories is not handled correctly. This will be fixed in Beta5

Thanks for your report.
