"Open Containing Folder", difference between KDE and Gnome

[frejen]

Hi,

On the box where i use Deluge most frequently i am running Ubuntu 8.04 and Deluge 1.0.2. For examples this is the scenario
Download location: /var/torrents/
Torrent contains directory in its toplevel: TorrentContentDir
Therefore when i start downloading the following dir is created: /var/torrents/TorrentContentDir

When i select "Open containing folder" Nautilus starts and goes to /var/torrents/ and i have to click on TorrentContentDir

Under Kubuntu when i do the same Dolphin starts and goes to /var/torrents/TorrentContentDir/, this is much more convenient. Yes i know iam lazy.

I have tried using Thunar as default file manager under KDE (works the same way as KDE + Dolphin, yes i know i should have tried Nautilus instead of Thunar but Thunar does not clutter the system with dependencies.)
I have tried using Dolphin as default file manager under Gnome (works the same way as Gnome + Nautilus)

I took a quick look at the source code, and xdg-open is used to open to location and "save_path" is supplied as an argument. Without being a Deluge dev. it sounds likely that /var/torrents/ should be the save_path and opened in the above described scenarios. Maybe there is a difference on how save_path is populated when Deluge is run under Gnome or KDE?

So my conclusion is that it is a difference between the two desktop managers. Anyone know if i can get Gnome to act the same way as KDE?

Cheers,
Frejen

Hmm in deluge 1.0.3 I don't see an "open containing folder", just an "open" and it seems to work as intended.
From your description it sounds like KDE is not behaving seeing "open containing folder" implies it should open the parent folder of the selected file/folder not the actual selected file/folder.

I guess that you by works as intended mean that the download location is opened? Do not have the Ubuntu box available at the moment. After upgrading Deluge on Kubuntu to 1.0.3 i have the option "Open Folder" instead of "Open Containing Folder". Noticed that my previous version of Deluge on Kubuntu was 0.5 something, my bad thought both Ubuntu and Kubuntu boxes was running 1.0.2. Open Containing Folder worked the way i want, it opened the directory created beneath the download location. Any way to make Deluge 1.0.3 work that way?

Cheers

In Deluge 1.0.3, if your download directory is /var/torrents and the torrent you're downloadig contains a folder named TorrentContentDir, then selecting "open" on the TorrentContentDir will open it showing any downloaded files under that directory.
Is this what you want?

Hi, I think thats what he wants.
Can it be fixed ?

I have the same problem and it is quite an annoyance especially when you may have several closely named downloads.

in utorrent when u click 'open containing folder' it goes the folder where the files are located. /you/downloads/here/FILENAME

btw it still does this in the newest release.
