#304 GUI ignores 'incomplete' folder for pathmapping

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: chris.ta...@gmail.com

using remote gui on Mac OS X and transmission 2.0 on Synology NAS ...

when defining path mapping from path on NAS (/volume1/TRANSMISSION) to locally mounted path (/Volumes/TRANSMISSION), gui ignores my setting for placing incomplete and complete torrents in different directories
my setup:
/TRANSMISSION/incoming (auto-add torrents)
/TRANSMISSION/incomplete (downloads inprogress)
/TRANSMISSION/download (completed downloads)

when I click 'open containing folder' the gui wants to open the file in the download folder, but since they are still in the incomplete folder, I get an error message "Unable to execute <<pathname-in-download-folder>>." which is only logical, since the file is not there yet.

Same thing happens with Transmission Daemon 2.32 and GUI 3.1 on Win XP SP3.

Yup...

It would appear the gui doesn't handle the case of there being a separate incomplete
dir from the final destination dir.

You can get a hint at this when you look at the GUI's idea of the torrent's PATH --
it displays the Destination dir, not the actual location...

So this bug should really be changed to having Trm-GUY currently display path of where torrent IS (not where it will eventually go)...

this feature, of checking on files while still incomplete, would be useful to have that fixed, it helps to check the actual content of the torrent while other parts of it are still downloading.

A (dirty) hack around it would be to map the completed link to the incomplete folder
This has the drawback that it will not work as soon as the download is REALLY completed and moved to the completed folder.

'/share/MD0_DATA/Qdownload/transmission/completed=u:\transmission\incomplete'

I also have this issue, I tried a seperate line mapping to the incomplete directory but it doesn't work. For some reason you can only input one mapping, so you either choose the download directory, or incomplete directory. not both.
