unRAR files are going to the wrong folder

Postby aaron5 » Wed Sep 04, 2013 9:05 pm

When selecting multiple items (holding Ctrl) from subject window then right-clicking and Download they all are going into the folder of the first item.

I found this out by selecting properties of an item in the download list and comparing the unRAR Path.

I noticed the problem in 6.42 2148 and have upgraded to 6.50B14: 00 6E 35 76 C6 88 and the problem still exists.

My Main Download folder is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Main\My Documents\Newsbin\$(GROUP)\

My unRAR Folder is:
C:\0-newsbin\$(GROUP)\$(FILENAME)\

It took quite a while for me to figure out what was happening to all of my downloads.

What's your download/unrar path set to? If you use the subject in the download path, there are 2 modes. The default mode is that all the files go to the subject of the first set you select. This seems to be what you're reporting and it's is the default.

Adding:

[SETTINGS]
SingleSubject=0

To the configuration file will make it use individual subjects for each file set you download.

I don’t use Subject. My download and unrar path settings are listed in my original post.

If I select items to download by clicking on them one at a time they unrar into the correct path.

The problem only occurs when I select more than one item and then download.

They will unrar into the folder of the first in the list.

The problem only started after I upgraded to 6.42 2148.

Yes, missed the paths.

The filename comes from the subject so, you should do what I suggested in the last post because using a single subject = using a single filename.
