Individual Folders for Downloads

Postby counteru » Fri Mar 01, 2013 2:53 pm

Hello, I have used newsbin for a long time and have never had one issue with the proggy. THanks for the work. So I now am having my first issue. All my downloads go into one single download folder instead of creating their own individual folder (sub folder) . It's kind of weird because sometimes it does and other times it does not. Seems its specific to the type of download be it a video or whatever. Here are examples:

download folder location F:\newsbin download\new folder\
https://www.dropbox.com/s/m0nkcvcxdft0e6h/sample.jpg

all those files and folders are at the root of the "Main Download Folder" in newsbin settings:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y0llzur80xh4bh5/samplesettings.jpg

these are random files and folder i created myself as an example of how newsbin downloads. Instead of creating a folder with the file name of each download and then placing all the finished data into those folders (be it rared or unrarred) , it sometimes simply just dumps all that stuff into root folder.

It did not ever do this until I updated from 6.40 to 6.42. Please help.... its very frustrating to organize all this stuff manually.

This section explains the new pathing options.

previously different methods of saving posts in subfolders was scattered throughout the options and inconsistent. Now it's handled in one location.

WOW, that's a little obscure; but THANKS!! [I've only been looking in the options for about 6 weeks, thought I was having senior moments ]
