unrar work in progress folder

[phusion]

Hi NB guys:

Wondering if the following is possible:
Can Newsbin have a folder where it downloads rar files and then when it unrar these files, move the result to there assigned folder?
Reason: My TV connected media player freaks out when there are rar files in the directory.

thanks for the info.

You can set Newsbin to download to one folder, then unrar to a second folder. Is that what you mean? Change the download path to the temp download folder and then tell autopar to unrar to whatever folder you like.

Thanks, but what if I want to unrar to several folders?
This is what I am thinking: download all groups to one folder and then put the result (unrar) in folders like: "movies", "tv", "programs" etc.

thanks

How does Newsbin sort them out?

If you download to folder with these names

\Temp\Tits
\Temp\Ass

If you set the unrar path to "\Final" and do what I suggested. But also set autopar to "Add a Path Prefix". The files should end up in a tree like this.

\Final\Tits\<files>
\Final\Ass\<files>

It should do this. If you're looking for some automatic folder generation from content, my question becomes "how". How's Newsbin supposed to categorize the downloads?

ok, don't think Newsbin is set up to do what I am looking for because I would need Newsbins to:
1) download all files to one folder.
2) then based on group settings unrar the files to specific folder.
This would mean in Group list's > properties menu
"Use Download path" would have to be reprogrammed to work as "unrar path".
This would tell Newsbins where to put the files.

Doing this would change the program and I am sure that the majority of users don't need this change.
Thanks anyway just wanted to see if it could be done.
