Help with Categories by Usenet Group

Hey all,

So I had SABNZBD all set up and running perfectly until I had to re-install Windows 10 yesterday...so now I have also re-installed SABNZBD and I've got everything working again except Categories. Previously I had four categories all set up to save files in different folders based on which Usenet group they were downloaded from, but I can't for the life of me get this to work automatically again. I have to manually select the category. Is there a particular syntax for entering the Usenet group names in the Category settings? Or a switch/setting I'm missing somewhere else to make this work?

Thanks!

How did you enter them right now? You set them in the 'Indexer / groups' colum, right?

Yes, I have entered them in the Indexer/Group column. I did find my old SABNZBD.INI and I have categories set up exactly as I did before, which was working.
For example, I have a music category with the terms *mp3*, *sounds* in the Indexer/Group column which used to automatically put downloads from alt.binaries.mp3 and others into the music category, so they would get saved in a music folder. But since re-installing, downloads are not getting automatically assigned to categories. I feel like I'm missing some other setting?

That should work, just to be sure: these NZBs come from those groups?

NZBs come from NZBIndex, which has always worked in the past.

Nevermind, problem has been solved!

It was a setting in my browser extension SABConnect++ that forwards NZB files to SABNZBD. Thanks for the help!!!
