Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2013 12:48 amI've been using newsbin forever, but couldn't get the downloads to save in folders named for the groups in version 6 until last night.
Adding the $(GROUP) to the main download path may work in NEW installations, it didn't work after UPGRADING my installed version.
FINALLY, after reading posts (Thanks Quade!), I finally got it to work!!!
I hi-lighted ALL my groups, right-clicked and selected properties, and added the $(GROUP) to the D/L path.
It changed them all and BINGO!!!
Hope this helps someone else; I was about to uninstall and install an older version or do a fresh install.

You have a good point that if you have a per-group download path set from V5 and upgrade, then change the global path using the new pathing scheme, it probably won't work unless you clear out the old per/group settings or change the per/group settings to reflect the new scheme.
The new pathing variables are documented here: http://help.newsbin.com/index.php/V640_Pathing
