Download path multiple folders

Postby mnkdrt » Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:10 am

I am running 6.40 build 2059 and my DL is set to ...x\Downloads\$(FILENAME)\
When I DL a release, lets say Somemovie I get multiple files in my DL folder for each different object or file (excuse my lack of terms, maybe subfolders).
A good example is:
Somemovie-720
Somemovie-720-sample
Somemovie-a
Somemovie-b

Instead off all the files and subfolders being in a main directory of Somemovie, each subfolder is just dumped in the downloads folder. Not sure if this makes sense?

Off the top of my head, I think it's because you asked for subdirs based on filename, and each of those are different filenames. You could use the nzb name if that's where you got the post from, or perhaps subject name? Might give you more meaningful folders.

$(Filename) is probably a bad idea. $(SUBJECT) might be better for sure.
