Stop NB from creating multiple folder for one download

[gargoyle67]

Hi,
How can I stop newbin from creating multiple folders for downloads ? for example I download say a tv episode newsbin creates the show name folder plus 2 sometimes 3 other folders called the name of the show plus "part01" at the end of the description or subtitle folders. I'm using the "$(FILENAME)\" path variable, I've looked at the help pages with all the variables and can't see one that would stop it.

Filename is problematic because Newsbin has to try to pull it out of the subject. If the files don't all have the same format for the filenames, you might get this. I'll have to think about it.

Thanks dude.

Not been on here in a while, Was this ever implemented at all ?

How are you adding the files to Newsbin? If via a NZB file then you are better off using $(NZBFILE) rather than $(FILENAME). Trying to use the filename is always likely to be problematical as you are leaving yourself at the whim of how the uploaders specified each file.

Ah yes I am itimpi, Thanks that makes sense, I'll give that a try.

Actually looking at my settings again I was indeed using the $(NZBFILE) filter so still the same problem.

If you are using that then I do not understand how the problem could be occurring unless you have multiple NZB files for the same post. I have never had a singe NZB file split across multi0le folders.
