#1 is a bug. The problem it it's not generating folders for you so, if you just click OK after the edit, it'll just use that folder.
#2 isn't a bug as far as I can tell. It works for me. You can't combine #1 and #2. Path variables and "Download to New Folder" don't work together. You can EITHER use path variables OR use "download to new folder". If you download to new folder though the unrar path should be whatever you set in the unrar path in the options.
Often when people who've had problems with the path variables in the past, they forgot they set a different path in the group options, then when they thought they were using the main option path settings, Newsbin was instead picking the main "per group" pathing.
OK thanks Quade. I had thought that
perhaps the 2 might be connected under the hood somehow, so I figured it was worth mentioning. Thanks for clarifying.
IDK why these things are messing me around, MotD has decided to return now... Repeated the steps of re-reg & it is still coming back after a PC reboot. The checkbox & $(var) are exactly as entered in the options dialog & in the nbi
- Code: Select all
DownloadPath=D:\DL\$(FILENAME)\
OnShowMotd=0
yet NB can still decide not to obey them.
Somehow this could be related to AV. But I have made sure NB is white-listed with full permissions, tho I know that can still be messed up at times.
Maybe a totally clean install is req'd.
