nzb file cannot start with a space

Postby bcaulf » Sat Oct 20, 2012 9:09 am

I have accidentally created nzb files whose name starts with a space character, due to copy-and-paste into a web form like binsearch.info and having a space in the copied text. Binsearch returns an nzb file like " testing.nzb" and this is not accepted by NewsBin. It throws "Error - NZB File Load Failed: C:\nzb\ testing.nzb". On e.g. NewsLeecher the nzb file is handled normally without a problem. So I would say this is a bug; maybe somewhere Newsbin is trimming off the leading space and then it fails to load the file because it has the wrong name. Thoughts?

Thanks.

Yeah, it's probably cleaning up the filename before use. Space at the end is illegal, I must have assumed one at the beginning is illegal too.

I added a note to my todo to look at this.

Bug report followed by the developer confirming and adding it to the todo list within a day. This is one reason why I love your software.
