We are moving into the Release Candidate stage. This means we feel 6.52 is stable enough for a production release and will address any show-stopper issues that might come up with wider usage. This one has a few changes since the last beta:

• Has a new auto-shutdown icon in the toolbar to toggle the existing auto-shutdown setting under Options/Advanced
• Changed how filter profiles are applied to compacted posts so a filter hit won't hide the entire post.
• Fixed issue with Internet Search where search results marked as spam had the wrong status. Now says "Spam".
• Updated Icon Legend in the Help menu
• Fixed issue in Search database not returning enough results when specific groups were specified in the search criteria.

More information and the download link is on the Newsbin Beta Page.

Finally!

Many thanks indeed.

Does this have the fix for the leftover .srr files after unrar?

Code: Select all

[.]srr$

This was all working previously.

How are you downloading?

How are you filtering?

The post unrar filter probably won't get these because they aren't part of the PAR set. Filename filters should kill them but, it depends on how you download.

If you're using NZB Autoload, have a filter assigned and that filter specs "[.]srr" in the subject reject, these files will get rejected before they even hit the download list.

I am downloading via headers.
I am filtering with the "Post UnRAR filter" with a filename reject for .srr files. This used to work. How should it be done now? Will the NZB Autoload method you mention work when downloading from headers?
I have had this issue since upgrading to B6 from B5.
You said there would be a fix in RC1. Is this a different issue than you were thinking of?

edit: Been trying different filters, but nothing has worked thus far. When I expand a post in the header list I see the rar, par, sfv, nfo, and srr files. After unrar only the .srr file is left. Something is deleting the .sfv and .nfo files. Only the post unrar filter is excluding these, so I am not sure why the .srr is not deleted.

I also tried a filename reject for the .srr in my "TV" filter for that GoG, but ended up with a .srr.nb2 file left over.

I have no antivirus or firewall software installed. It is a stock install of Windows 7 x64.

Have you tried it?

The post-unrar filter was never broken but, only ever applied to files mentioned in the PAR set. The reason you might not have seen SRR files before was that you probably never downloading them but, they're now baked into the compacted set. If you add [.]srr$ to the global filename reject list, it should reject them as they download.

See my edit above, but I just tried it in the global filter. and I get a .srr.nb2 file left over.

And why are the .nfo and .sfv files deleted after unrar, but not the .srr?

edit: Created a new post unrar filter and verified it is this filter that is deleting the nfo and sfv files. Still at a loss as to why it will not delete the .srr.

edit2: If I remove nfo and sfv file types from post unrar filter, these files are moved to the unrar path after extraction. The .srr remains in the download folder whether it is in the post unrar filter or not.

More data:

I downgraded to B5 an everything is working as expected. When I monitor the in-progress download I never see the nfo, sfv, and srr files hit the disk. After unrar the download folder is empty and deleted as expected.

Why are the nfo, sfv, and srr files not downloaded in B5? The only filter where I have them rejected in is the post unrar filter I have assigned in the options.

I reinstalled B6 and when adding a post to the download queue, the first files it seems to download after the small par is the nfo, sfv, and srr files. After unrar the nfo and sfv are deleted, but the srr is left behind in the download folder and the folder is not deleted.

Why are these files downloaded in B6, but not B5?
Why is the post unrar filter deleting the nfo and sfv, but not the srr?

Something broke between B5 and B6.

See my edit above, but I just tried it in the global filter. and I get a .srr.nb2 file left over.

Yeah, this is a bug in RC1. Already fixed in RC2 but, we're thinking about just going to release with it. The filename filter wasn't deleting the NB2 when the filter matched. Basically that fact you're getting NB2's means the filters are working and only the delete step is missing.

OK, good to know, I can wait for a fix. Any idea why there is a difference in behavior between B5 and B6 (see my last post).

Code changes. If I had to guess, I'd guess the new compaction code appeared between 5 and 6.
