Built in Search & download path location question.

Postby Eurisko » Wed Feb 13, 2013 12:46 pm

I have my Main Download Folder set to: D:\incoming\Newsgroups\$(NZBFILE)\

I recently started using the Built in Search function (in both the desktop client, as well as via the Remote App).

Previously, each file ended up in a folder under D:\incoming\Newsgroups\ in a sub folder based on the NZB information.

However, when I kick off a download in the built in Search system, they all end up in the base folder: D:\incoming\Newsgroups\ instead of each being in a sub folder.

I did try setting the Download folder for NZB's to the same path as above (D:\incoming\Newsgroups\$(NZBFILE)\), yet that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm assuming it's something simple I'm missing, but how do I fix that? :)

Thanks!

Search isn't NZB's so, that's the first thing to keep in mind. The reason they end up in a common folder is because there is no NZB Filename to hook into.

$(SUBJECT) might do it for you. Say, set the main download folder to:

D:\incoming\Newsgroups\$(SUBJECT)\

Then set the NZB Download path to:

D:\incoming\Newsgroups\$(NZBFILE)\

You might have to experiment with it.
