Lost or removed feature?

[Gemma_R]

One thing I found great in the last version of uTorrent was this:

picking up torrent files from my set folder one at a time, so that starting from the second download it would remember the location.

Since I automatically updated to the new version, program loads all my torrent files at once and this feature got somehow "lost".

Any chance to roll it back? Or do I have to go back to the previous version? (admitted I could...)

What are you talking about?

[Gemma_R]

what exactly did you NOT understand? :|

[DreadWingKnight]

about 90% of your problem description. What features you're referring to, what settings.

[Gemma_R]

I don't know how to describe it any clearer, I'll try.

I always download a bunch of torrent files at once, then open utorrent.

My utorrent is set so to pick up automatically torrent files from a specific folder, so when I start it, all that bunch of torrent files were being loaded.

Now, what I noticed in the last one or 2 versions of the program was that the files where loaded one at a time from the folder. This means, you choose where to save the first, and then from the second on the program would point to the same last folder you chose to download the last file.

Basically what it was was a better management of the way it was handling the option "Automatically load files from folder": alphabetically and one at a time. Now it's back to how it was before: random and all together.

If you want to be able to specify the download location for a torrent, you cannot use the "automatically load torrent from" directory setting. You have to use the file association's run method.

[Gemma_R]

I get the feeling once again you didn't understand what I meant... :|

Specifying the download location and specifying a folder where to load torrent files from are two completely different things.

Also, file association is set, but I don't double click the files, since the option "Automatically load files from folder" is checked and I always download torrent files in the same folder.

I'm also getting the feeling that you're not really an expert in utorrent. Could be mistaking, of course, still...

[DreadWingKnight]

The automatically load files from folder setting is not supposed to prompt you AT ALL to specify where the files get saved or anything like that.

Did you look at the order they were added to uTorrent in and compare it to the modified date on the torrents in your autoload directory?

[gymka]

utorrent_load_torrent_files (location) {
torrents_array=list_all_torrents_from_folder(location);
sort_alphabetically(torrents_array); //missing
for(i=0; i<torrents_array[total]; i++) {
utorrent_show_dialog_with_add_torrent(torrents_array[i]);
wait_while_user_chooses_action(); //missing
}
}

[Gemma_R]

ok, I get it: we're talking about 2 different things.

1) where .torrent files are saved and loaded from

2) where what you are downloading via utorrent is saved

So try and re-read what I wrote considering the difference between the two things.

So once again steps are:

1.download .torrent files

2.open utorrent

3.utorrent loads the .torrent files from my specified location

4.utorrent prompts you where to save what you are downloading

And yes, I think that it loads based on the order they were saved, this I already noticed.

But all at once, like if you have 5 .torrent files, 5 prompt windows will open at the same time, see what I mean?

They changed it, in the last version, but since I read that 3.1.2 is based on 3.1 and not on 3.1.1 I guess this modification got lost. I'd like it back. It was handy.

[Gemma_R]

utorrent_load_torrent_files (location) {
torrents_array=list_all_torrents_from_folder(location);
sort_alphabetically(torrents_array); //missing
for(i=0; i<torrents_array[total]; i++) {
utorrent_show_dialog_with_add_torrent(torrents_array[i]);
wait_while_user_chooses_action(); //missing
}
}

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't get it.

Did you translate what I was trying to explain into code?

[gymka]

utorrent_load_torrent_files (location) {
torrents_array=list_all_torrents_from_folder(location);
sort_alphabetically(torrents_array); //missing
for(i=0; i<torrents_array[total]; i++) {
utorrent_show_dialog_with_add_torrent(torrents_array[i]);
wait_while_user_chooses_action(); //missing
}
}

Sorry' date=' I'm afraid I don't get it.

yes "code" and "mathematics" are same in all languages

I know exactly what you mean and that feature you miss is still there. When the box pops up showing the torrent to be loaded it seems like it's going to load all the files ... BUT look for the little box with the double down arrow (chevron) and click on that...voila! you'll see all the files included in the torrent and the ability to select the ones you want.

Unfortunately no, that's not it.

I'm not talking about a single torrent file being loaded to download more than one file.

I'm talking about several .torrent files (like on Thursday, for instance, I get something like 6/7 different tv shows, so 6/7 different .torrent files) being loaded at once.

Why won't anybody understand? *crying desperately*

Looks like gymka did a nice job of translating your problem into pseudo C++ code.

That said, I never used the feature and I can't see any option that would fix your problem. It seems like your best option is to "downgrade."

[Gemma_R]

And downgrade is what I did.

Got my feature back, yeahhhh
