UnRAR to folder

Postby Slugsie » Sun Jul 19, 2015 4:31 pm

I've just updated to 6.6 from 6.5(6?). In the previous version when a download was automatically unrar'd the contents of the rar file would all go into a folder named for the rar file. In 6.6 it just unrar's to the group folder, so there is no way to know which files belong together. How do I get the old behaviour back?

Do you have an UnRAR path set in the options? The default it to unrar where the file is downloaded. Sounds like you need an unrar path set. You might want to include $(FILENAME) in the unrar path.

I didn't, it just defaulted to blank after the upgrade. I've now set it to D:\Newsbin\$(Group)\($Filename)\ and it's working how I want it. Thanks.
