Directory's

[amoe89]

When i want to create a torrent, utorrent asks in what directory the file is in. When i click the add directory button it shows me only my desktop and none of my other directory's. See image

Utorrent version: 1.7.7 stable

OS: vista

thnx

Try changing Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> gui.compat_diropen

This has apparently been fixed in 1.8 beta. You can check it out in the Announcements forum. You can even use it self-encapsulated so it doesn't mess with your current settings.

By changing you mean setting it from false to true, because that's the only thing i can do in the advanced tab.

upd

I tried but it didnt work :S

Did you try in 1.8? There are some.. peculiarities with Vista, which cause this. It's been reported previously but I don't know if there is a fix for 1.7

no i tried with 1.7.7 stable

but im dowloading from a private tracker, and i read somewhere that i need to ask them if their tracker is capable of downloading with 1.8

You won't ACTUALLY be USING uT 1.8... just open it self contained, try adding your torrent... verify the problem doesn't exist. If it does check if gui.compat_diropen fixes it. Please report back in any case

i downloaded 1.8 and i didn't have the problem with it. But how do i open it self contained, if i have 1.7.7

Click the link self-encapsulated... do what it says. Basically all you need to do is put your "test" 1.8 in a separate directory... I name mine "beta", make a blank file called settings.dat, make a shortcut or run "path\to\utorrent-1.8-beta-9272.upx.exe" /RECOVER and you're good. Notice how the /RECOVER it outside any "" for the pathname, if required for spaces or non-ASCII characters.
