My Usenet

In the next version, I've moved the status from the bottom to the side. Depending on whether a listbox item or one of the buttons on the left is selected, you see either the highlighted item's description or you see the current status. My question is which one do you prefer? I think it looks a lot cleaner this way and gives more real esate to the actual NZB listings. I may add an option to pick one or the other, but at this point I'm not sure.

perhaps the size and ID could located on the left and are only visable on the left if you select one. this way even more van fit on the screen

That's a good point. That would allow probably 15 or more items on screen at one time.

I like the update status at the bottom just like in version 0.2

I should be uploading the new version (0.3) later tonight or tommorow. I was unable to keep the status displayed at the bottom. In its place, though is next page/prev page buttons to navigate back and forth in search results. There was way too much space wasted having those labels all spread out at the bottom and I think the basis to this entire plugin is showing as much information as possible on screen at one time while not being cluttered. A LOT of things have changed this time around and I think I've eliminated a good amount of the problems. I think the best addition by far though is the ability to browse the sites by category. Basically, you can choose to for example see everything that the video source is Blu-Ray, or the format is x264, or the genre is horror. If you can do it on the website you can do it with the plugin now (to a certain extent, of course).

I'm already working on adding full support for queue management etc, history viewing, etc in SAB but that won't be in this version. Thanks again for all the helpful bug reports and suggestions.

Version 0.3 has been uploaded and is pending approval. Let me know if you have problems.

any chance making an MPI for this plugin?

Hi jburnette, installed it right away - great update, and layout is fine here on B2 wide now. I am having trouble downloading the nzbs to the blackhole from newzbin, but I will have to do more testing.

Btw, "My" i My Usenet is hardcoded

Glad to hear the layout is looking good. Make sure that you don't have "Add by postid" checked in newzbin config unless you enetered your Newzbin username/password into SABnzbds actual web based configuration. The plugin will now check to see if the target directory exists before trying to save the NZB in it. If it doesn't, it creates it. Let me know if you get that worked out or not.

Also, the "My" part would require me to add strings to the language xmls, something I'm not real sure how to do. Obviously I can do it on my system, but as far as actually having it written, I don't know the proper procedure unless I just send a new strings.xml for each language. That wouldn't make a lot of sense. Basically, I really don't know how to make it optional.

- The preferred site is not used (i have to select it again)
- When I select and nzb to download, I get an message "Error Downloading NZB!", just below "Pause Download" button.

I did configure the plugin after installation, and I tried both the Zip file and the MPI installer.
What's wrong?
