Sabnzbd: "Check Before Download" results in duplicate backed-up NZB file

Created on 19 May 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: sabnzbd/sabnzbd

If the switch "Check before download" is enabled and a "Watched Folder" is set, it results in a duplicate NZB file in the ".nzb Backup Folder" (if set).

The duplicate NZB file has a shortened name (31 characters).

Is this a bug or the intended outcome?

I was mistaken before, this is not controlled by folder_max_length but by the limitation that the whole Incomplete folder path should be max 72 characters (arbitrary length). Otherwise UnRar get's upset when there's really long Rar-filenames.
Maybe we just shouldn't save the file again when re-adding after pre-check.

What do you have set for folder_max_length in Config Specials?

128

To be clear, by duplicate I mean a duplicate .nzb file.
