Moved to non-existing folder

Post by Bn »

Version: 0.5.4
OS: Mac OS X 10.4
Install-type: OSx .app
Is the issue reproducible? 3 downloads before the problem was found

Downloads will move to the non-existant folder if the folder has a SPACE in front of it and the SPACE is not in the Categories-Folder/Path
No errors reported by the app.

Example:
Path in Categories: /Volume/HD/myfolder
Real path: /Volume/HD/ myfolder

To quote His Steveness: "Don't hold it like that!".

Seriously: I'm surprised this bug is present.
On Windows this goes wrong also and I remember that we filter explicitly for that.
I'll check again.

I could only test on Snow Leopard.
When the folder "/Volume/HD/ myfolder" exists and you set "/Volume/HD/myfolder" in Categories,
SABnzbd will just create a new folder "/Volume/HD/myfolder".
The folder with the leading space will be ignored, but your download will go to a proper folder.
For OSX these are two different folders.
The behaviour of SABNzbd is correct.
The parallel with Windows does not exist, because Windows doesn't support leading and trailing spaces in folders.
