Is it possible to post-process the files in the Temp Download Folder then only move the completed files to the proper Completed directory?

The problem I had today is my Plex system was crashing and it took me a while to locate the issue down.  Plex has the ability to look inside rar files for videos to add to the library. 

So, this comes back to the _FAILED_ issue.  The _FAILED_ directory is placed in the TV show's directory with all the rar files of the episode. So Plex tries to look inside the rar file and finds invalid data and crashes.  Obviously this is something that Plex should be able to handle but until that happens, is there any way to make the SABnzb processor not move the FAILED files to the Completed TV show directory and instead leave it in the Temp Download Folder?

Looking at the Folders screen of SABnzbd configuration, it reads as if it should already do this.  Do I just have something set up wrong?

Temporary Download Folder: Location to store unprocessed downloads.
Completed Download Folder: Location to store finished, fully processed downloads.

So based on these folder descriptions, the files should remain in the Temp folder until they have been "fully processed" then moved to the Completed folder.  Or am I just reading that wrong?

Currently running v0.5.6

Upgrade to SABnzbd 0.6.0 RC2.
That one will keep the RAR files of failed jobs in the temporary location.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask in version 0.7.13 is there a way to go back to the older method.

In my case my temporary folder is on the system main ssd drive, which is obviously smaller in size than the main completed download folder.

In this case if it fails, it stops the queue from processing further due to the drive being full?


I.e. is there a switch that controls this?

Thanks

No.
Either move your temp folder to the bigger drive or
disable "Post-Process Only Verified Jobs" in Config-Switches.
In the latter case you'll more or less get the old behaviour back,
but you won't be able to retry failed jobs.
