Filename problem

Postby mpoirier » Fri Jan 31, 2025 3:13 pm

Hi!

Lately all downloads from NZB files on usenetserver are stored in a "folder" named with the subject name.
For years, it used to be the actual final "file" downloaded to my target folder with the subject as filename.
I hope I describe this correctly...

I am afraid I changed some setting in NB but I can't find how to get it back the way it was...
Any idea where I can change this back to the way it was ?

Thanks !

How are you feeding the NZB into Newsbin?

$(NZBFILE) is how you embed the NZB Filename into the download/decode path.

Once I know how you're feeding the NZB's I can suggest where to look.

I double click the nzb file...

Is this what you mean ?

Yeah.

If you look in the options menu, the settings window. The first tab will show:

"Download Folder for Downloads from NZB"
and
"UnRAR Folder:"

Make sure they both have $(NZBFILE).

X:\NZB\$(NZBFILE)\ for example.
and
X:\Decode\$(NZBFILE)\

X being a valid drive letter.

The reason I say put it in both is because some downloads today don't have RARS or PARS so they end up on the "NZB Folder for Downloads from NZB"

Downloads with RARS and PARS get moved to the unrar folder.

Entered "$(NZBFILE)" as instructed.
Unfortunately, did not work.
Maybe I should close the app and start fresh...
If it helps, can I send you the log file and nzb file ?

You can email it to ts at newsbin dot com.

Not sure the log will tell me anything. When the NZB file is added to the download list, it'll list the decode folder next to the download list entry.

I should have asked what version you're using. I'm talking about the latest RC version.

The latest BETA version seems to fix the filename renaming problem I was experiencing !

Thanks Quade for your help !
