Bugs in Windows version of ktorrent

Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:30 am
Hi,

just wanted to let you know some things which i have noticed after i installed the windows version of ktorrent.
I am using ktorrent on Mandriva Linux for a long time now and thought i try the windows version too.
So i installed ktorrent 3.3.1 with KDE 4.3.4 .

OS:
WinXP Pro SP2
ktorrennt 3.3.1
KDE 4.3.4

What i have noticed:

- when i create a torrent then i can only select a file but not a complete folder.
If i select a folder and wanna create the torrent from this folder,
then the folder gets opened when i click on open.
I need to choose a file inside the folder, click on open and then remove the file from the path string.
I can create the torrent from the folder this way but this is not the way it should work.

- when saving the torrent file (if you create a torrent) then you see in the dropdown where you can choose the extension .torrent.torrent instead of .torrent

- when i open a torrent via right mouse click - open with ktorrent, then a new instance from ktorrent is started for each torrent that i open this way. If i open 10 torrents this way then i have 1 + 10 instances and to get rid of them i need to close all of them and restart ktorrent.

except that the windows version works good.
hope these bugs get fixed soon.

cheers
George

I get the string "Torrent files [*.torrent] (*.torrent)", also a KDE bug. The integration with the save and load dialogs on windows is bad, sometimes you get the native one, sometimes a KDE one. The KDE
