folders for each new download?
Maybe via some addons, i dunno.
So that it goes like this: i get nzb file, then choose manually to save it into folder XX(instead if automatically downloading it into default folder) and sabnzbd starts downloading it into that folder/
Thanx in advance
SABnzbd-0.5.0(or earlier versions) : is it possible to choose manually download
Re: SABnzbd-0.5.0(or earlier versions) : is it possible to choose manually download
Thats kinda strange question.
I dint think that this option should be explained.
First,
I often download to completely different partition for various reasons which are many..I need to rename download folders for various reasons before i start downloading(the way its done in newsbn, newsleeecher, alt binz etc). Sometimes i dont have enough space on partition where the default download folder is. So what, i have to change it again?
Second, almost every usenet client i used has it.
I dont really understand that kind of limitation in all in all awesome client/.
But i find myself using more often newsbin because of this. And i dont like it very much.
But maybe i just dont get it

It doesnt. Believe me. have u ever used the clients i mentioned?This seems like the same amount of effort required as just moving the folder after the download
But maybe i just dont get it

Thanx for ur answers
PS
I understand that the main goal of this client is automation but i doubt it would really hurt in any way having this option
PS
So would it be foolish to expect that feature twhich could be turned on or off considering manual setting of download folders to be implemented at some point?The strengths in sabnzbd lie in its automated abilities.

Just because a feature is in "almost every usenet client", it is not an excuse for it to be included; and is a good reason why programs get bloated full of features.
SABnzbd is all about working behind the scenes with minimal user intervention all the way from adding an nzb to it being downloaded and automatically repaired/unpacked without the user having to do any work or worry about per nzb settings.
SABnzbd is mainly coded and targeted for use on a server, set up with considerable hard drive storage.
pair of dimes has already pointed you to a good direction in how you can harness an already existing feature of SABnzbd to cleverly direct your downloads to different locations. By using categories, you can set up one or more for each of your partitions allowing you to either select the category (and thus the partition saved to) once the nzb has been added to the queue. Or using the category support within the watched folder, save the nzb to a folder within the watched folder named as your category (ie C:\Watched Folder\myCategory\).
