Multiple Import Groups

I use nzb's a whole lot. I'd like to import them to different groups instead of what seems to be the unchangeable default "Import" OR import them
to the original newsgroup.

I want to be able to use Custom Collections-Add and move the selected to another Import tab instead of grouping them within the current group.

Is this possible? Forte Agent does this really well but it has major
database maintence problems so here I am with your product.

UE supports importing to different Import groups from the search service toolbar, and that setting changes which import group NZBs are imported to too, so you can change witch group you want to use before importing.

I don't think UE supports this directly, I believe you need to use the "RightClick->Advanced->Export headers" to make an NZB, and then import, to get the headers to another group.

Thanks I figured it out with your description.
I'm able to do exactly what I wanted.

I have to say though it's an odd way to work with NZBs and multiple import tabs. It's not exactly intuitive. One has to select the import tab before importing and the place one selects it is part of the search bar not any import menu.

more exactly how it works if an import group is the current tab - nzb will go into that group, otherwise it will go into the import group selected in the search service bar, if search bar is not shown (view menu->search service bar to toggle), it will go into the "Import" group (the one which cannot be deleted).

in principle it could ask which import group you want to import nzb (but then also need another option to disabled that behaviour), selecting a separate default import group for nzbs and search service doesn't make a lot of sense since it is all about the same, just different format in which search results are imported.
