Hi,

I'm an old user of Newsbin, but havent used v6. What I'm trying to accomplish is simple: I want Newsbin to simply create a folder in my "main download folder" which includes all files associated to a unpacked download, as opposed to simply dumping all files into this "main download folder without first placing them in a folder. I could of sworn this action was a simple tick box in other versions, but for the life of me I cant get it working in v6.

Many thanks!

How are you downloading? NZB's, Search or headers?

The way you define Download paths in the latest versions of Newsbin is described here.

So I think may not have done a great job at describing my issue. I have my paths defined as I want them, my issue is that I want a new subdirectory in \downloads directory for every completed download. At the moment, if the completed download is unrared, I see all of its files, but they're just dumped into the download directory without being organized into their own subdir.

How do you want the subdirectory named? You just choose the appropriate path variable to get them to be named differently. For example if you want a directory named after the subject of the post after a file is unrared, append the $(SUBJECT) path variable to the unrar download path.

Thank you very much! I was messing around with the variables last night, but didnt do it exactly right. I think the label of "noob" is correctly applied in my case, despite having use older versions of Newsbin for years. Image link not allowed for unregistered users

The paths only apply to newly added downloads. Existing downloads already have their paths set.
