SAB Changes Files Names

Post by ahatheway7 »

Good morning, I have checked my settings multiple times but I wish for SAB to leave the file name exactly as the name of the file being downloaded, even if it has extraneous material. Looking for help on what setting to change to have SAB leave the file name alone after downloading. Thanks,

Check out config/switches/#deobfuscate_final_filenames

Deobfuscate final filenames
If filenames of (large) files in the final folder look obfuscated or meaningless they will be renamed to the job name. Additionally, attempts to set the correct file extension based on the file signature if the extension is not present or meaningless.

if you have that checked On, set it to Off.

Do you mean like this. I noticed it as well. There are a lot more switches now for the final filename.
