SABnzbd Forums

Hi!

I'm running Sabnzbd 0.6.0RC2 on Ubuntu (Natty beta 64-bit, but before that Kubuntu Maverick 32-bit) and use nzbdstatus 1.0.15.1 to send nzbs from nzbmatrix to sabnzbd.

I don't have any categories anymore, in http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/categories/ I only have default (when I used Kubuntu I upgraded from sabnzbd 0.5 to 0.6beta and then they were there, but now I'm running a fresh install), so all nzbs from nzbmatrix download to the same folder. To solve this I created the categories "Movies" and "TV" and had them extract to a corresponding folder, ie I gave them each a relative path to extract to ("/Movies" and "/TV"). After upgrading from RC1 to RC2 of sabnzbd nothing extracted anymore and I got an error message saying that the target folder couldn't be created. After some testing it seems that this was because RC2 didn't interpret "/Movies" and "/TV" (from the categories I created myself) as relative to the extraction folder for all finished downloads, but in stead as absolute, eg "/Movies" in stead of "/media/External HDD/Extracted Files/Movies".

So my questions are:
1. What has happened to the categories between 0.5 and 0.6?
2. Has the "Folder/Path" in http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/categories/ when creating your own categories, changed in behaviour between RC1 and RC2 so that one should put absolute folder paths there in stead of relative paths? The text on the categories page suggests to me that relative folders should be used, but I may be misinterpreting it.

Sorry if anything is not perfectly clear,  English is not my first language, and many thanks for the best newsreader that I've used!

Relative paths do not have a / at the beginning. With a /, the application interpretes the path as absolute.
