sizzlemctwizzle Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm very angry right now. I spend the last couple hours downloading a 700mb file and foolishly thought that by right clicking and selecting "Delete all files" would just remove the file from µtorrent, but was very unhappy to find the µtorrent had actually deleted the file completely. My request is that that file is instead placed in the trash can so that idiots like me can get them back with they do something dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdog54 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Me too.it was better, put the file into the trash, don't delete it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 In Windows there is a way to configure whether deleting goes to trash or not... surely they wouldn't want to deprive uT/Mac users of this. Additionally to see keybindings or the existing options, http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=378826#p378826 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjk Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 We'll fix it in future versions so that deleting will move files to trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bess Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 In my opinion, when deleting a file from the uTorrent list, it should not delete the d/led file on your hard drive...Or am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 It depends on the "default" remove action in the toolbar, similar to windows. As you see through the context menu there are multiple available options, and as kjk said in the future delete will mean when you delete it will go to Trash.

Nimiety Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 +1 for this - my #3 need - I accidentally deleted a torrent after about 96% (22 gigs down the drain... sigh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakafish Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ug. It's more than a feature request, it's a bug. I got bitten by it despite having read this post. It will delete the foremost torrent (the one in focus on the info panel) regardless of which torrent you may be clicking on in the upper file list. I lost 6.7G of hard fought torrent at 99% completion. What a drag . I'll try to refrain harping about Apple's user interface guidelines and file deletion since they were probably created before most of you guys were born, but there is nothing that can ruin a day quicker than permanent data loss.

polakatl Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 "right clicking and selecting "Delete all files"......very unhappy to find the µtorrent had actually deleted the file completely." I can't see how this surprised you or why you would expect something different. I havn't had any problems with the remove/delete functions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pai Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 And what's even worse than not moving the files to trash, is that if you use the Command-Delete shortcut, the files are just gone forever !For anyone unfamiliar with OSX shortcuts, Command-Delete moves the files to trash. If you use that shortcut hourly (like I do), using it instead of just Delete (which would be the desired output of my action - delete torrent from list) is a natural mistake. But even if I do that mistake, please allow me to retrieve the files again for trash, instead of having to download the entire torrent again ! I already wasted ~10GB while trying to figure out what happened to my downloads, and just deciding to download again the files (as it's natural for me to use that key-combinating, it didn't even cross my mind what I had done/pressed until I tested all the shortcuts)An optimal solution would be to allow me to choose the result of some shortcuts, but that won't even be necessary if the files are always "deleted to trash".Thank you devs, you're doing a great job with uT for mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bess Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 that's what we were discussing... haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pai Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Right, I just wanted to point out that not only Right-Click behavior should be changed (what started the discussion), but hotkey-related as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bess Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 oh, got it, kk... also the remove button does that about 50% of the time for me =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
