Chronium Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 And that would be when you choose the directory to download the files to it adds on the file or folder name to the end. It just makes all the options blur into one and repetition like that is bad UI design. Other than that I really like uTorrent.Any chance there could be an option to change that?

thelittlefire Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 No. uTorrent uses the path in the INFO dictionary.There is talk of adding Relocate to the Add Torrent dialog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Wait, what repetition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 If you have a hierarchy in the torrent, the OP wants it to NOT use the INFO dictionary's path by default. AKA, silly request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronium Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Erm, no I don't think you understood me. I meant when you choose the directory for where you want to download the file(s) to. In the drop down down box it not only lists the recently used directories, but the file/folder of the torrent's contents as well for each option. So say I have a torrent containing blah.txt it would list:c:\blah.txtc:\myfolder\blah.txtc:\thisextrafolder\newfolder\blah.txtrather thanc:\c:\myfolder\c:\thisextrafolder\newfolder\Which is repetition and not a silly request.

thelittlefire Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Indeed. I did not quite see it the way you presented it. But I think it DOES make sense as is. Given sometimes people get confused, or say you're a new person... you think, OK I have saved it here. Where would I expect my file to be??With the listing of the file in the path you see, there's no ambivalence about where the file would go. I apologize if I offended when saying it was silly. I think it's a good idea to keep things tidy. My opinion on the listing of the actual path in the dialog though is a good thing, so there can be no miscommunication.

Chronium Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Well I dissagree.The combo box's sole purpose is choosing where to download the torrents contents to. Adding the file/folder on the end serves very little purpose in this regard, you would have to be pretty stupid to be confused when choosing where to download a torrent's contents to. For me it just makes the list all blur into one and I have to concentrate hard to read what I actually want to read. I don't wish to read the file/folder name ten times. You could just as easily add a label above the combo box with the full path. If you were to look at the UI design of other programs with a similar purpose I think you will find very few have the whole path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
