I tried creating a category with an absolute path outside the default "root" but it didn't work.
Is this a bug or am I not supposed to be able to do this?

Re: User-defined categories. Absolute paths
Thanks for the reply. It was a permission issue 
Another question was raised though. I tried downloading from the Books category in newzbin but chose the PDA category in the drop-down field. The files were still put into the books folder. Am I not supposed to be able to choose or is this just for uncategorised downloads?

Re: User-defined categories. Absolute paths
This is not correct.
Overrides in the main screen or later in the queue should have precedence.

Re: User-defined categories. Absolute paths
ok, I'll do some more testing then to make sure I'm correct about this.
