Re: µTorrent Mac 1.1 beta (23574)

I just downloaded the 1.1 beta. Noticed two issues, not big ones.

The app icon does not appear in finder, it is just blank
The .torrent file icon also does not appear in finder, it is just blank also.

The .torrent file icon also does not appear in finder, it is just blank also.

On investigation of the Info.plist in the application bundle.
the field for "Icon file" and "Icon File Name" the extensions for the icons are missing.

E.g. the "Icon file" field (for the application icon) reads "AppIcon" it should read "AppIcon.icns".

Once the two fields are updated to include the ".icns" extension, and you relaunch finder, the app icon and .torrent file icon appear as they should.

Problem adding torrent file with already downloaded files (for migrate from e.g. Transmission to µTorrent)

When choose "Force Re-Check" µTorrent create blank files without extensions in same directory with already downloaded files and set download progres 0%

When manualy rename existed files to name without extension and re-check — µTorrent check normaly to 100%, but files stay without extensions.

Its easy to fix. Please, we wait again

When manually rename existed files to name without extension and re-check — µTorrent check normally to 100%, but files stay without extensions.

When torrent release contain folder — check without bug
When one file - with bug

I have also notice, 1.1 doesn't seem to trash manually opened torrent files anymore.

Re: µTorrent Mac 1.1 beta (23574)

I found a reason, only for what the program does not inform - non enough free space

Re: µTorrent Mac 1.1 beta (23574)

@silentbobie we changed the trash torrent feature to work on auto loaded torrents in Directories.  This is the same as our WIndows client, but it does eliminate the functionality of trashing the torrent on manual add.  If there is enough interest in the old functionality, it's something we could add back.  We are trying to keep the preferences from growing too complex on mac, so we are pruning where we think it makes sense.

Thats cool, Obviously it is a good option for auto add. I would like to see it back, maybe the same as the old functionality, one option for deletion when adding manual or via the auto load. But its not a big issue. Was just unsure whether it was supposed to be like that. Thanks.

The .icns extension is implied for that field but can be optionally specified.  For an example Info.plist that implies .icns, see the Info.plist for the mac address book application.

I would guess that the finder just needed to be restarted.

lol, maybe I read too much into it. Have never seen that happen before.

For me the old "move to trash" after opening a torrent is essential.

And a way to set the growl notifications on the preferences menu would be great.

Hi!
I can't give priorities to the files inside torrent while downloading. They all get low priority. This wasn't an issue in stable version.

Same here. Although the new functionality is ok, if you don't use the auto-load feature, it's important to auto-delete manually added torrents.

Compared with the version 1.0.2 (23439), decreased the rate to unload, no more than 200kB / s!
