Sorting done wrong?

[dcuritois]

Ok, what am i doing wrong:

If I add this:

Code: Select all

/volume1/folder/%sn/%fn/


I get a folder CALLED "%fn" ?

In which sort context are you doing this?
Type of sort, kind of downloads.

Sorting, TV. "Sort String"

Testing it, the "Processed Result" field ends by saying "Original Filename"

Can you give an example of a NZB name?

Which SABnzbd release are you using?

Can you give an example of a NZB name?

aaaa.aaaa.aaaa.s00e00.aaaa.xnnn-aaa.mp4

To which "Processed Results" displays:

"/volume1/folder/Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa/Original Filename.avi"

Which SABnzbd release are you using?

0.7.0

I admit it's a bit confusing, but you're using it in a wrong context.
If you want to use it to normalize file names, you should use %fn.%ext

%fn as such would be used to name a folder after a filename, which is a bit bizarre for series.
It's meant for GenericSort and DateSort and it's not supported for folder names in SeriesSort.
The pattern key doesn't explain things properly.

I wanted to avoid having a new folder generated for each item. And it was in the pattern key for series.

Ok, thanks.

You won't get a folder for each item.
In fact, this one will also do what you want:
%sn/S%s

I was getting a folder for each item, hence trying to change it. Thanks for the key, I'll try that.
