Altbinz can't forget old path !

[Skalaton81]

Hello everyone,

I have a strange problem: On my old system the temp path was F:\Usenet\temp
On my new system the path is J:\Usenet\temp.
Everything works fine, unless I plug in a USB Stick
which, on occasion, gets assigned the letter "F". Then AltBinz seems to remember the old path, and tries
to put all temps files on the stick, the stick ends up full, the decoding process stops etc....

See the (edited) log:

Code: [Select]

[04.08.2013 13:07:06] [Dec] Suspending decoder thread! No free space on destination drive F:
[04.08.2013 13:07:06] [Dec] Available 8011776 bytes, need 15728640 bytes.
[04.08.2013 13:09:34] [Dec] Yenc, Filename: F:\Usenet\temp2\\file.r00
[04.08.2013 13:09:34] [Dec] Exception Cannot create file "F:\Usenet\temp2\file.r00". Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden

I changed the path in the Setup dialog, I edited
config.abz to eliminate all mentions of "F:\", but AltBinz doesn't want to forget the old path.
It is really bugging me !

What can I do?

Do you have any Categories or RSS filters set up that override the default download dir? You won't find those in config.abz.

Yep, I have several categories setup, but they work fine.
The Problem seems to be the temp folder, and that is usually not influenced by the category !

It's trying to create "F:\Usenet\temp2\file.r00" and my understanding is that the final binaries are only created in the download folder, and temp is only used for storing the individual article parts before these are assembled - though Rdl can correct me. Maybe the log message is just ambiguous.

In any case, you should be able to test this by setting your Article Cache in Setup > Download #2 to something higher, then your temp folder should never be touched anyways as all the article parts should be kept in RAM.

Still, check none of the paths in your Categories or RSS filters point to F.

Yes, from log it does look like final file and not temp files.
