Am not sure if it is available (or will be in future releases) but is there/will there be an option that NB does _not_ try to unrar password protected files?
Often I let NB running unattended and it vainly tries to unrar protected files.

Maybe it should simply skip them leaving a message that some posts needs to be unrarred manually ?

Thanks

If you assign a password to the files before it finishes, it can unrar the files itself. Right click in the download list.

Thank you.

Frankly speaking, I never used this option sofar (just manually unpacked the files providing the password).
Now, I have a few downloads in queue, all having passwords.
The passwords I assigned show up in a list, so there are now 4 passwords in a list.
Assume NB figures out which password belongs to which file?

Again, this is the first time I am using this option, so bear with me

You have to assign the password to the download. When you click "Ok" in the add password window, the currently displayed password is assigned to the download.

Thanks Quade.

I had a few pw-protected posts.
Copy-pasted the passwords into the pw-list.

All posts except one were extracted alright.

The logfile shows

I have renamed the filenames, providername, etc. and deleted unnecessary records to shorten the file

I unrarred the files manually (copy pasting the pw).
PW in the list definitely was the same as the one I copy pasted.

guess it is one off glitch, but noticed a separate posting " Password protected posts"

Important note..
Now, it is a long shot, but the only difference with this specific file is the following.
1. the pw proteced files that were successfully unrarred: the foldername was/is exactly the same as the .nzb file
so: nzb file: pw-protected-file1.nzb, files were unrarred in
\downloads\pw-protected-file1\pw-protected-file1
\downloads\pw-protected-file2\pw-protected-file2
\downloads\pw-protected-file3\pw-protected-file3
etc.

2.about the nzb file that went wrong. accidentally something went wrong in copy-pasting name of the file.
so: the NAME of the file that I gave it was: w-protected-file5.nzb (not the missing first character)
the generated nzb was pw-protected-file5.nzb
NB stored the files in a folder :
\downloads\w-protected-file5\
but could not handle the file from there on...

Maybe, maybe not.. it might have something to do with that, else I would not know.

(Sorry for the long story)
=

Later...

Again a problem: could not unrar the files.

passwords were definitely the same (copy -paste)

nzb-name same as folder name, no problem with that either.
(so the .nzb name being different from the foldername wasn't the issue)

unrarred the files using Directory Opus successfully.

This just for your info.

The only issue I'm aware of is people get confused about when the password applies (or the control itself makes it unclear).

When you click OK, the currently selected password is set. So, if you enter the password dialog and exit without selecting a password, it assigns whatever the current password is selected.

I wonder if you're checking the password and when you exit a different one gets assigned to the set? The fact it seems to work most of the time suggests there's some unusual path.

Maybe I should re-do that window to make it clearer when the password gets set and to make it harder to set the wrong one.

In that case, frankly speaking, it is a bit unclear to me
My 'way of working' (which may possibly be wrong, I don't know):

Load the NZB file, start the download,in the NB Bottom window (Downloading files)I rightclick on the file,
select 'Assign Unrar password', the list shows up, paste the password there and click on OK.

In case of a few files/few passwords , personally, i wonder how NB 'remembers' which pw belongs to which file.

Maybe, when re-doing the pw list, the filename should also be listed, along with the pw (i.e. 2 columns, filename + pw, dots)?

Leave that to you, of course.

Pls don't get me wrong - this is no criticism - am very happy with NB!

Thanks.

p.s.: out of curiosity, minor thing, why not able to assing unrar pw in the upper panel,i.e. befóre starting the download?
(right now I have to start the download before being able to assign the pw)
