How to use newsgoup names as attachment folder names?

by steve102 @
I have done it before, but, for the life of me, I can't see how to do it now after re-installing Binary Boy and looking at the settings.

For example, I want attachments from alt.binaries.e-book to go into an alt.binaries.e-book sub-folder in the "Main Attachments Folder" I define with the "Files" setting. Same with attachments from other newsgroups.

It took me forever to figure out how to do this originally, and I don't want to find it by trial and error again. I am sorry I am blind to this or if it is obvious!

Thank you.

Assuming you're using a recent version, load your list into the group list editor. Click the Advanced button. Check "Create subfolders for newsgroups"

Got it. Thank you. I thought it might be more intuitive to have this option in the "Files" tab in the settings, but I guess I see that one might want to do it on a list-by-list basis.

Regards,
