Inconsistent folder naming for download/unrar 6.40

Postby Slugsie » Fri Oct 05, 2012 5:57 pm

OK, so I have a bunch of files downloading that I queued up from a Group search. In options I have the download folder set to 'D:\Newsbin\$(GROUP)\'. So these particular files are downloading to 'D:\Newsbin\alt.binaries.multimedia\'. Exactly as expected and required. I have the UnRAR folder set to 'D:\Newsbin\$(GROUP)\$(FILENAME)\' so I was expecting the downloaded RARs to expand into 'D:\Newsbin\alt.binaries.multimedia\<downloaded file1>\' for example. But they actually ended up in 'D:\Newsbin\a.b.multimedia\<downloaded file1>\' which isn't what I want. The group does actually appear in my group list as 'a.b.multimedia'.

I don't really care which naming system is used, but it really should be consistent if I'm using the same identifier '$(GROUP)'.

Hmm, just figured out why this may have happened. I think these downloads where queued up in a pre 6.4 build - I only updated a day or so ago. Whatever version I was on before didn't use this new method for specifying folders.

Yeah, that would do it.
