Issues with saving

Post by sparker366 »

First off, please take no offense, I have to say the program is a bit daunting coming from the likes of newsleecher. I just want to use this for downloading from picture groups as I can't find a site that indexes them.

I am having some issues setting up default settings for the program. I want a default base directory for all my downloads to go to then I want each download to be put in a group folder.

Example
Base directory E:\newsgroups
Group alt.binaries.xxx.xxx
Save directory: E:\newsgroups\alt.binaries.xxx.xxx

Would be nice to see if you can get a further directory name based on the first file name or the post subject. I know newsleecher didn't do this but it did a good job of what I am talking about without having to figure out where to do it in the settings.

Would be nice if someone created a wiki or simple instructions other then what you already have. All in all its a nice program but will take some getting used to coming from newsleecher.

edit menu->properties->newsgroups, you can set any download folder, select the newsgroup and press the "browse" button, if the same folder per several newsgroups you can use copy/paste.

to use the subject when you download&save selected headers use download&save (auto), you may uncheck edit menu->properties->save/unpack, auto download&save, auto options in advanced submenu and/or use the shortcut (alt+d).
