[Bug 505861] Re: Transmission does not respect the default download location setting
@charles: I have tested your theory in bug 500011 and seems to be correct. If I change the download location, it always gets the last subfolder removed. If this is a transmission or gtk+ problem, I don't know... ** Summary changed: - Transmission does not respect the default download location setting + Transmission download location gets the last subfolder removed on new torrents -- Transmission download location gets the last subfolder removed on new torrents https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's possible that this ticket and bug 500011 are related. shankao, could you please take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/500011/comments/6 and answer those questions? Those are all pretty straightforward, and less effort than downloading a live cd... :) -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 505861] Re: Transmission does not respect the default download location setting
I still can't reproduce this, so I'm going to try two wild guesses to see if they help any: 1. If settings.json is somehow corrupt, Transmission may be using your home directory as a fallback value. Could you please run your ~/.config/transmission/settings.json file through a JSON parser (such as http://json.parser.online.fr/) to check for parse errors? 2. It's possible that there's some kind of bug and/or installation error in your copy of GTK+. What version of GTK+ are you using? Is it the standard version for 10.04? 3. This requires a little bit of work, but it will help to eliminate GTK+ and upgrade errors from the list of suspects -- copy your ~/.config/transmission directory to a flash drive, then boot a live CD of the Lucid prerelease. Launch its copy of Transmission from a terminal with transmission -g /media/your-flash-drive/transmission- config-dir --paused ... this way you can test your settings on a clean install of Lucid. -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Unfortunately I could not reproduce it. Have you installed lucid newly or upgraded from kramic? Because I have just tested on a completely fresh install. ** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Tested on my upgraded machine as well. Could not reproduce with the torrent file for xubuntu. Could you please test it with that file? ** Attachment added: xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37770395/xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same thing with the file you have included. I am using an upgraded lucid from karmic. I think this is the corresponding configuration line in the file .config/transmission/settings.json: download-dir: \/home\/shankao\/Download -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. * I'm not able to reproduce this error -- what specific steps should I take to recreate this bug? * Does the folder you chose in preferences torrents exist? Do you have read/write access to it? * If you change the folder in preferences torrents, then close the preferences dialog, then reopen it, does the preferences dialog show the correct folder, or $HOME (or something else?) ** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 505861] Re: Transmission does not respect the default download location setting
Answered question by question. * Steps to reproduce the bug: 1. Set any folder in the preferences-torrents dialog. In my case, the Donwload folder under $HOME that AFAIK, was introduced since karmic. 2. Open a .torrent file from nautilus. 3. In the new window that opens (Torrent options), the selected destination folder is always my $HOME folder. * Yes, the folder exists and I have the correct access privs. I have checked with two different ones (Download and Pictures, automaticaly generated for new users) and still shows the same behaviour. * Tested, still same thing :-( ** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- Transmission does not respect the default download location setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
