Problem with Autonaming of folders

Post by uesanton »

Somewhere in the last batch of UE updates, the download folder names stopped working correctly. Sometimes three or four separate downloads end up in the same folder when they should be in separate folders.
Occasionally a separate download will get a folder name that's almost identical to another folder. For example:

[Import] ( Summer.School.1987.WS.DVDRip.XviD.iNT-EwDp ) [21-68] - ewdp-summer.xvid.r09 yEnc

[Import] ( Summer.School.1987.WS.DVDRip.XviD.iNT-EwDp ) [61-68] - ewdp-summer.xvid.rar yEnc

i didn't change anything regarding generating folder name, so nothing has changed.

do you mean the opposite, do you want those files to land in the same folder but now the folder names are different depending on what you mark for download? like if headers belong to a collection it would rather use collection subject?

just the files below belong to the same collection [21-68] in the original subject is [21/68] just windows doesn't allow slash "/" to be a part of a valid file name, so the character is replaced with "-".

I am also having problems with the naming (Download and Save). When I select "sugest" it sugests a name that has nothing to do with the files being downloaded. Sometimes it sugests the same name as the previous download.

I've seen this before. UE can have something highlighted but not exactly focussed. For example, a line is highlighted in darkened colour yet another line has a dotted outline surrounding it. Are you right-clicking or using the keyboard to select files to download? Look to see if the focus is on the files you have highlighted. I always make sure to click on a file/collection beforehand.

You can see the same behaviour in other ways as well. If you import a search or NZB and select all to download and save, UE will tell you in the title bar that you have "n items selected". As they are all saved the title bar will stay the same unless you click off the files and move the focus somewhere else.

yes it is certainly the reason, now i understand.

when you import nzb or make search and (i think) when collections are enabled right now the focused may remain as it was.

a single line of code should be changed to set focused to the first selected item.

i could make a small release to change that (i mentioned that in another unrelated thread since the shortcut for collapsing collection depends on the focused item as well), also the custom collections are not enabled if "collections" in properties->newsgroups were set to "none" (and it was the default), i put a note few days after the 1.9.1 release in extractor and changed the default for the trial version but most users have already downloaded the version by the time.
