Bug Description

In 0.6 in the preferences under the 'After Downloading' section for the 'Download folder' I can't get it to let me change the download folder.

Please see this screen shot;

You'll see it is on 'sar' which is my user name for the path /home/sar

This is the path I'd like to put it on, /home/sar/Downloads/Lottanzb/Downloads but every time I pick this path and close the preferences it goes back to 'sar'

For me lottanzb 0.6 works great, if I could only get it to let me save where I'd like.

Hopefully this can be fixed soon and I can get an update to this in bazaar.

Also, even though the preferences say it's going to save in 'sar' it ends up saving instead in this path;

/home/sar/.sabnzbd/Downloads/SABnzbd/Complete

THANKS

Actually there are two folders in ~/.sabnzbd, 'downloads' and 'Downloads', I find this a bit odd and actually the downloads when they are completed are showing up in; (Small d)

/home/sar/.sabnzbd/downloads/SABnzbd/Complete

THANKS

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. It looks like there's indeed something wrong with the preferences window. For the time being, you can work around the problem by opening the web interface of SABnzbd in a browser [1] and change the download folder to whatever you want to in the 'Config' section.

It would be helpful to get a better picture of what's happing. For instance, it would be interesting to know whether there are any errors messages when launching LottaNZB from a terminal and performing the steps you describe. Or even better, launch LottaNZB using the parameter --debug and upload the output.

Also, when you say "it goes back to 'sar'", you mean that this happens when you open the preferences window (Edit -> Preferences) again after having closed it? Before opening it again, could you check whether the change was actually transmitted to SABnzbd by opening the web interface as described earlier?

[1] Usually http://localhost:8000

Yes after I change the download folder and close the preferences and open it back up to look, it's back to 'sar', it won't change...

I just ran Bazaar today and I also have the latest version of SABNzbd 0.5.6 installed.

Here's a screen shot of lottanzb from the terminal and the preferences;

The screen shot is after I changed the download folder and then closed it and reopened it, so you can see it's still on 'sar' and won't let me change, which is my $HOME path, /home/sar

I want to change it to the path, /home/sar/Downloads/Lottanzb also as you can see in the terminal it said lottanzb.conf saved and there are no errors in the terminal.

Sorry where do I check it in SABnzbd?

Here is the lottanzb --debug output
