Public bug reported:
#1 finished download directory
While the current DC++ gui (QueueFrame) can handle only absolute path's
starting with <drive>: the lib accepts relative ones for default
download directory setting. The path passes QueueManager::checkTarget
and causes assertion failure in QueueFrame line 457 if you specify
relative or UNC path for default download directory.
#2 unfinished download directory
The setting accepts relative path, too and there's no any further path
check in this case. So the actual path where the unfinished files will
be created (QueueManager::setFile) will be relative to the path the DC++
executable started from (which is not necessarily the program
directory). This can result creation of Incomplete folders in arbitrary
places of the file system and reset of unfininished downloads between
sessions.
Thanks Thor for reporting issue #2 which led to further investigation of
this problem.
