Hello Newsbin Team,

I do have a feature request and I do hope it doesn't take too much of your time to make it happen. Is it possible to have a option, where the name of the NZB-file (without the extension .nzb) will be automatically used as password to unpack the archives?

It will come quiet handy in my case. I do feed an newsbin-running, old netbook over a dropbox-folder. I do find it much, much easier to sort unpacked directories instead of searching for passwords somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

I'll have to think about it. Not sure how you'd handle multiple NZB's that way. Maybe appended to the end of the filename

"Filename Password:bla bla bla.nzb" or something like that.

I second that request.

Ideally something like filename[password].nzb

i.e., check the password if it's inside the square brackets.

Any news on this request?

Actually the idea "DIRECTORY [password].nzb" is great ...

In B17, if you add the password to newsbin's password list, Newsbin will figure out which password to use when it's time to decode the files.

I thought I'd added this to my todo list. I'll add it now.

I didn't know that NBP looks through all the passwords on the list. Very cool!

It will in B17. It's a new feature.

It is now very common on german usenets-boards to structure the nzb files like:

Title [password].nzb
Title {{password}}.nzb

It would be very helpfull to implement this feature by now.

I personally prefer the notation .<password>.nzb

but it there's already a set standard...

This feature is high on my list. I'm thinking about having it in 6.51 before release. With the way passwords work today, it won't be that hard to integrate.

Your competition "SabNZB" did set the standard by now. The format of the nzb-files needs to be: title{{password}}.nzb. The program creates a folder named "title" and is unpacking using the password between the {{ }}.

So, there is a reader having the requested feature ... no pressure, no pressure.

why two {{ ?

Also, I think that it doesn't really matter what other NZB readers are doing... We only use NBP around here...

The current beta parses the filename and adds the password to the list. I don't mind people giving me shit as long as it's good natured.

You know, it's the bro-code.

Stuff like this is easy to add but, people have to ask because, nothing I download requires a password.

What is the final pattern that includes the password?

title{{password}}.nzb

Anything inside the double-braces is considered to be the password.
