Setting to stop SABNZBd from unzipping files within a download?

I'm downloading a NZB that is supposed to be a bunch of zip files that need to stay zipped. These zip files of course come from the multi-part RAR files that make up the parts of the package that are being downloaded. However, after extracting the multi-part RAR files, SABNZBd is also going a step further and extracting all my zips, which I don't want it to do. How can I stop this?

Uncheck the recursive unpacking setting in config -> switches.

Hey, i love the 2 options "enable recursive unpacking" and "ignore any folders".
Is it possible to restrict this for special categories ?
I just want to use this feature in 2 categories and not in all, or by default.

Since only very few people use these options, it's not possible to set them only for a specific category.

Thx, for the quick reply.
Ok, but, is it possible to do this with a script perhaps ?
I disable this options global then and only load the script for the categories ?

I don't think so it could be done with a script easily.
You could write a pp-script that does unpacking, but would be a lot of work.
