Public bug reported:
Running qBitTorrent v2.8.4.
I added a number of torrents that were downloaded to the default
download location. I then started re-organizing my downloads and moved
all of my music downloads to the Music folder in my home directory.
I wanted to move the torrent location to match the new locations of the
files - however when I change the Save Path for the torrent to the new
location it won't persist. After selecting the new location, the Save
Path automagically reverts back to the old location.
When I remove the files from the new location in the Music directory, I
can successfully change the save path of the torrent - and the files are
moved automatically as well.
However this means that I need to do some manual handiwork to create the
folder the torrent is downloaded to, if I want to download the torrent
into a different location from the default.
When I add the torrent, qBittorent adds the folder to my default
location. If i want to retain that default folder name, I then need to
manually create a folder with that name in the new (non-default)
location I want to store the files in. After that I can update the Save
Path in qBittorrent, and start the download.
Unless I'm missing something it'd be good if either (or both) a)
qBittorrent would allow me to update the Save Path on a torrent if I
move the original folder the torrent was already downloaded in; b) allow
me to specify a new "root" location for the torrent to be downloaded to
- which would then create a new folder like it does when I opt to use
the default download location.
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong - but to me it doesn't
seem to be working 100%?
