From the Agent 8 (similar to Agent 7) Help File... ignore the
"megajoin update", you ain't gots it... <smile>
Importing NZB Files
Agent provides several ways for you to import NZB files, allowing you
to retrieve message headers in the folder of your choice and
automatically retrieve message bodies immediately or mark messages for
retrieval at a later time.
Update: Beginning with version 8, Agent uses MegaJoining to join the
elements of an NZB file into a single header. This allows NZB files to
take advantage of all the features of version 8 with no changes on
your part.
Use the Import NZB Files command
On the File menu, select Import and Export, then select Import NZB
Files ... to open the Import NZB Files dialog. Specify the file name
and Agent will import the NZB file. You can specify more than one
file at once. (See below.)
Launch or Build an NZB File from a Web Browser
Web sites that index Usenet postings provide links to NZB files and
also allow you to build NZB files "on the fly" when you find content
of interest to you. When you launch the NZB file from a web site
Agent will open and display the Import NZB Files Options dialog, where
you can tell Agent how to import the data. (For this to happen, make
sure that Agent is configured to be the default NZB program for NZB
files. By default, Agent makes itself the handler for NZB files.
However if this has been overridden, you can use the Default Program
Settings on the Options dialog to configure Agent as the default
handler for NZB files.)
Launch an NZB File from Agent or from Windows Explorer
If you have downloaded an NZB file in Agent, simply launch the file to
import the headers defined in the file. In Windows Explorer use any
standard Windows method (e.g. double-click or use the Enter key) to
open the file in Agent. As above, make sure that Agent is configured
to be the default program for NZB files.
Drag a file from Windows to Agent
You can drag one or more NZB files from Windows to Agent's Folders
pane and drop the files onto an Agent folder. When you use this
method Agent temporarily overrides the folder property settings that
control which folders should be the targets of the imported NZB
headers, forcing the folder on which the files were dropped to become
the target folder. The Import NZB Files Options dialog, which is
displayed as part of the import process, allows you to specify these
settings also, so that you have full control over the properties used
for each NZB file.
Copy a file from Windows and paste it into Agent
You can select a file or files in Windows, press Ctrl+C, switch to
Agent, select a folder, and press Ctrl+V to import the copied files
into the folder. Note that if you do a cut (Ctrl+X) in Windows, Agent
still does a copy (import), and does not delete the original file.
Launch an NZB file specification as a URL
You can import an NZB file from within Agent by selecting and
launching a pseudo-URL of the form "nzbfile:<filepath>". Agent
doesn't include these "nzbfile" URLs on the URL Types dialog, nor does
it auto-highlight them. But if you manually select one and select the
launch URL command, Agent will import the file.
Importing multiple files at once
If you select multiple files in the Import NZB Files dialog (above) or
drag multiple files onto Agent's Folders pane, Agent obtains a
complete list of the files and processes them all at once in the
Import NZB Files Options dialog. If you launch multiple files
simultaneously from Windows Explorer (e.g. by selecting several files
and hitting Enter) or from Agent, Windows sends each file individually
to Agent to be opened. If the options dialog is already displayed for
one import, and Agent receives a new file to import, it will process
the new file and append the resulting headers to the list of headers
to be imported when you press the Import button on the dialog.
I have my NZBs open in a folder that I've aptly named NIZUBS, and I
set Agent to be the default program for that file type in Windows.
Hope that helps... It's actually easy!
