I often download NZB files that contain a large number of ZIP files. Here it is important that the ZIP files are not recursively unpacked. Therefore, "Recursive unpacking deactivated" is always selected in the post-processing area.
This worked perfectly up to 4.0.3. Since 4.1.0, the setting is not adopted and all ZIP files in the NZB file are recursively unpacked. However, I want the individual ZIP files not to be unpacked and to remain as ZIP files.
If I set the switch to "Activate recursive unpacking", an error message appears stating that the Incomplete folder cannot be created and the download is aborted.

Could you share and example NZB with Mr at [email protected]?
And what error are you getting exactly if you enable it?

I have emailed you a sample NZB. Could you reproduce the error? Is there a solution?

Many thanks

I replied to you through email right away. Here is a copy of mail response.

I tested this NZB on both 4.0.3 and 4.1.0 and on both it unpacks the zip files inside the NZB.
It is not "recursive", as that is only the case when the first unpack results in new files to unpack. Here the zip files are the "first unpack" level.

I think that you have "enable_zip" turned off in 4.0.3.
On 4.1.0 we removed zip executable and use 7zip for zip files. So you need to also turn off "enable_7zip" and all will be good

Hello safihre,

thank you very much for your answer.
Unfortunately, your mails had been moved to the spam folder and I had overlooked them there. I would like to apologise for that.
Now I have reinstalled 4.1.0 and set the switch for "enable_7zip" to off. It now works as desired again. A recursive unpacking is no longer carried out.

Many thanks
