[AUTORAR]
DecodePath=F:\img\$(GROUP)\
UnRARPath=\\lab\img\$(GROUP)\
Was changing the UnRAR path to a network location, and that worked, ONCE. Now things are landing in the DecodePath. Presumably DecodePath is being used but I don't see that exposed in Settings. Do I just need to edit it directly?
The instance of F:\img above is the only one in my NBI file.

What version are you using? Keep in mind the setting only applies to new downloads. Existing downloads use whatever path was set when they were added to the download list.
In 6.82 it's "UnRARPath" and "DownloadPath" in the NBI. It might be different in older version.

6.82.
So are you saying that the UnRARPath setting is embedded in the metadata for each item in the download list? I realize Download Path is - it's displayed there.
Seems like it might be. Download direct from groups this morning IS using the UnRARPath setting.

When you add a download, the rendered download and unrar path is set in the database for each download so subsequent changes to the download or unrar path won't change the paths for existing downloads.
It's an intentional design. I assume people want their downloads to go where they set them. Not change on a whim.

Sounds reasonable, thanks for the clarification!
