Hello everyone !!
I'm trying to configure the move_completed_path variable with the path C:\Users\Will\Torrent\Download by entering the following command in cmd :
"C:/Program Files (x86)/Deluge/deluge-console.exe" config --set move_completed_path C:/Users/Will/Torrent/Download

but I have this error:

Code: Select all

malformed expression (C)

It's --set= and you may need to quote the entire argument line.

Code: Select all

>>> config -h
Usage: config [key1 [key2 ...]]
       config --set key value

Options:
  -s SET, --set=SET  set value for key
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit

Show and set configuration values

I tried "C:/Program Files (x86)/Deluge/deluge-console.exe" config --set="move_completed_path" "C:/Users/Will/Torrent/Download"
but I have the same error

Entire argument line...

Yes sorry "C:/Program Files (x86)/Deluge/deluge-console.exe" config --set="move_completed_path C:/Users/Will/Torrent/Download"
but this does not work either

Oh the other issue could be needing to use backslash or double-forwardslash for path

It sends the same error. It looks like it doesn't like the C in C:/Users/Will/Torrent/Download because if I get rid of it, the error does not appear.

Hmm ok, I just tested on Windows and it seems to be a bug in console handling the C:.

A workaround is to use forward slashes without C: so /Users/Will/Torrent/Download would be equivalent.

I have created a ticket for this: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/3075
