Hi great SABnzbd developers,
I am on Mac OS X and running the trunk version from source.
The following issue occurred:
I have an nzb, that yields a file called "nzb."
it is wonderfully picked up in .5 (automatically dl)
but folder names ".nzb" are used
instead of the actual download name (==censored==)
due to the .something name, it is hardly visible under OS X
need to go in terminal and do a ls -a
then preferably rename it.
Perhaps there is a better way to prevent dl into .something folders?
the nzb is sent to [email protected]

Re: downloads to .something folder
I understand the trouble with .something names and I'll
see if we can easily fix this.
However, who thought of using such an odd name?
Of the "actual" name as you call it, is not in the NZB name,
where else should SABnzbd get it from?
There's no such thing as an "actual" name in Usenet.
Only the files will have definitive names, not the folder in which
a collection of files is stored.

I verified the trunk to be working, thank you.shypike wrote: I understand the trouble with .something names and I'll

wasn't me ;-)However, who thought of using such an odd name?
A poster called "***BEEP***" did, probably a Windows user.
He/she may not have noticed the issue or did it on purpose.
Suggestion: look at "filename".par2 or "filename".rar that are listed in the nzb.Of the "actual" name as you call it, is not in the NZB name,

But that won't be straightforward, I realize.
Perhaps my wording is inappropriate (not native speaker), but you understood what i meant.There's no such thing as an "actual" name in Usenet.
I guess it's too much up to the poster, what names he chooses.
Annoyingly, sometimes overly short or long. Communities are a big help, to find out about post details.
I'm happy with the way it is solved now.Only the files will have definitive names, not the folder in which
a collection of files is stored.
