zblk Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi to all!I have a question to uTorrent devs:Why uTorrent still doesn't support Windows Global Variables at download paths in RSS downloader? For example, I'm downloading some releases by RSS, and i have folder (e.g. Z:\music\) and i want dynamically put them in this folder's subfolders by day. One time at day (e.g. at 00:01) starting bat script, which creates global varibles with values of today day and month (e.g. %day% and %month%), and then I insert them in RSS download path (e.g. Z:\music\%month%\%day%\). In result for today releases we must get path like this: Z:\music\07\30\... But in practice all files downloads to Z:\music\%month%\%day%\. Which means uTorrent (1.7.2) doesn't convert Global Variables to their values at RSS path. IMHO it's easy to implement and very useful feature... Hope i see it in next version Good luck!And VERY-VERY-VERY BIG thanx for such wonderful program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nos_slived Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I haven't tried this, but try using %%month%% instead of %month%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zblk Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 nope, i tried %month%, %%month%%, \%month\%... but it still used path string as-is :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Choi Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Do global variables work properly elsewhere within uTorrent? ie is this an RSS-only issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Not at all. Global (environment?) variables have never worked in µTorrent when setting paths.Simple test: download some random torrent with the path set to %appdata%\test. You'll find the directory created on the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
