Rename a download folder

Post by surdy »

I have this torrent file of a folder having multiple subfolders in it. How can I rename the folder name to something of my choice ?

So for example the torrent has a folder structure

Code: Select all

Distros_
          |_Fedora  
          |         
          |_Ubuntu
          |
          |_Suse
Now if I want to change it to

Code: Select all

Distributions_
                 |_Fedora  
                 |         
                 |_Ubuntu
                 |
                 |_Suse
I cannot find a way to do that.
How do I do that ? Move storage does not seem to solve this. With move storage I can change from
/mnt/torrents/Distros to /(anything-else)/Distros but not /mnt/torrents/Distributions

You can do this when you add the torrent or from the files tab by clicking on the folder name.

Thanks
Which option should I select after clicking on the folder name ?
All I get under the Files tab is Open, Expand All, Do Not Download, Normal priority, High Priority, Highest Priority
When I add a torrent file I can select under which folder I would save it. But if the torrent itself has a folder I cannot pick the name of the folder or change it. If in doubt refer to my example as to what I need.

I was expecting something like this to be in the FAQ. And apparently it isn't.

Go to the Files tab and double click the parent directory or any file you want. ;) It will also conveniently rename the entry from the torrent list. This is probably the most awesome feature of Deluge. And if you're using Linux you can also hide files or folders by adding a dot in front of them (I'm currently using this method until Deluge handles partial files better. It's driving me nuts... But I think it's worth it).
