Hi,
i hope this really a bug and not my own stupidity...
Situation Description:
Running 0.4.0RC4 together with gm newzbin script in ff and a handwritten "blackhole automover" for direct nzb processing.
The gm script runs flawlessly, the capabilites of the newest sab iteration have really improved alot!
Problematic is downloading a nzb (e.g. from usenet view of newzbin, is then automoved to sab blackhole dir):
In SAB queue it shows as category "None". Downloading itself works, but having all the selected_files dirs in the root of the SAB DL dir sucks. So i saw the new category options and thought "great, lets move these Category "None" downloads to \Uncategorized). Configured a "None" category with associated DL dir \Uncategorized, and guess what, it did not work. The file is still put into the SAB DL root, destroying all carefully created subdir goodness!
Symptoms:
- I added the Category as "None" to mimic the category name shown in the sab queue. After saving, the cat name changed to "none", seems like you lowercase your cat names.
- Now, when downloading a nzb directly with sab, the queue shows Category "none", with the move to the corresponding folder not working.
- Interestingly, the queue category chooser shows "None" as first entry (as before my whole endeavour), and my (?) "none" group as the last (as i added it last).
If this should really be a bug, and you happen to be working on the category code sometimes, there is some minor feature request I'd like to throw in: Sorting of the categories in the queue cat select option (either alphabetical or even better configurable in the cat config).
Thanks for improving on tdians great work and making SAB even better!
Paul

Re: Inconsistent handling of "None" Category Downloads
The code wasn't written to support having a category named "None". The None category is simply an internal name and is hardcoded to just not accept a category.
I have similar needs to you, and this is how I did an uncategoriszed setup:
Config>Folders
Complete dir: X:\Unsorted
Config>Categories
Movies cat folder: X:\Movies
TV cat folder: X:\TV
and so on..
