[SOLVED] directory name containing dots

Post by heysep »

I'm sorry if this is a known issue with an easy fix, but the search function just kept telling me the used words were to common.
When I add a .torrent-File that creates a directory which has a dot in its name, deluge will instead create a file with that name, and keeps telling me that it couldn't continue because "is not a directory".
So basically I always have to create the directory upfront, so it will download.
Is this a known issue, or do you need more information?

edit:
After some consideration, I guess this is a libtorrent issue

What version of deluge / libtorrent?

This seems to work fine for me in trunk.

I just updated to 1.2.0 because of the error, but it did not solve the problem.
installing libtorrent 0.12.6 fixed it (from repository / running ARCH)

You should actually be using libtorrent 0.14.5+ with deluge 1.2.0.

You should be installing "libtorrent-rasterbar" on arch.

That is what I had (and still have) installed. As I said : installing libtorrent 0.12.6 fixed the problem for me

libtorrent != libtorrent-rasterbar, libtorrent is used only by rtorrent, and not by Deluge, so installing that would have made no difference to how Deluge operates so it must've been something else that fixed it.
