NZB subfolder naming

I have ticked [Auto - folder out of nzb name] which is cool and exactly what I need but my problem sometimes is the length of the generated subfolder names. Some of the nzb files imported have very long names (100 chars+) and my old linux share has trouble digesting them (also with deleting file names containing [ ] brackets).

Is there a chance to generate unique and simple plain subfolder names maybe out of the timestamp of each nzb file? eg. NZB20091111T2011.

maybe you could write a simple program and associate it with nzb files?

you doubleclick nzb it moves the file into UE import folder with the name you want.

console application with several lines of code, file status, sprintf then movefile.

you see how many options are already, i'm trying to add features without adding options :)

Yes, you are right. No use adding more options. I now have small batch file in place which renames the incoming nzbs before they are imported. Now all my tasks are automated and I won't post anymore questions :wink:
