How do I clean up files?

Post by ptheglev »

Hi there,

when I download files with extensions like ".r01", ".r02" and so on, I don't know how to tell the software to delete all these files at the clean-up stage.
I know how to specify files-types, but when the extension changes numerically - what do I do then?

choose in the settings + delete instead of +repair or +unpack and SAB takes care of it.

Hmm - I would have thought I'd have to look in the Config-menu, General but is that wrong?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "settings". I don't have any 'settings' menu.

You can set a "mode" per download job.
' ' = no post-processing
'R' = repair (based on par2 files)
'U' = repair + unpack
'D' = repair + unpack + delete RAR files afterwards.

You can set the "mode" when submitting an NZB fie on the main page or change it in the queue page.

Some settings in the Config pages allow you to set default values for particular situations.

This is all explained in the Wiki, click the "Help" link on any page.
