Obfuscated files in subfolders
« on: July 20, 2024, 07:10:41 PM »
Hello.

First of all: text was translated by Google...

I'm not sure if it's a "bug", a missing feature or a configuration error on my part.
It's about obfuscation when uploading. Usenet articles are named arbitrarily. These files cannot be found via search engines because the Usenet articles do not have a common, numbered header. Uploads are no longer packaged in archives and a password is no longer required. The files can only be reassembled with the NZB created directly during the upload.

The problem I have: no subdirectories or all files are unpacked from such an NZB.

I created a test upload for this:
Directory1/Testfile1
Directory1/Directory1-1/Testfile1-1
Directory1/Directory1-2/Testfile1-2
Directory1/Directory1-2/Directory1-2-1/Testfile1-2-1
Par2 files were created via directory1.

Automatic unpacking is activated.
Par2 files should be deleted from complete archives.
After downloading with AltBinz I get:
Directory1/2a489fe8667.....b4252
Directory1/2ec50f387f5f.....991f1
Directory1/a5d17dc075f.....d552c
Directory1/Directory1.par2
Directory1/Directory1Directory1-2Testfile1-2

Sometimes none of the files are named correctly and there are then 4 files with cryptic names and the smallest Par2.

With quickpar you can name the files correctly, but then the directory structure is missing. The 4 unzipped files are simply in the download directory.

In many cases it may not matter, but in many cases it is important that the folder structure is preserved.
Sabnzbd and a few other programs correctly unpack such uploads with a folder structure.
