renaming files before downloading...

Post by -emory- »

Hi everyone, I love your client... well I love it so far. I'm recently returning to Deluge because I desperately want a slim, gnome client (read: NOT AZUREUS!!) and so far Deluge looks great. My only problem last time I tried however, is that last time Deluge was missing a neccessary (for me at least) feature: the ability to change the output filename before it began downloading. I handle lots of tv shows and files that I like to keep very organized, so before each download I change the output file to [season #]x[ep. #] - [Showname].avi . Is there currently any way to do this in deluge?
Thanks
Emory

libtorrent (which deluge is built on) doesn't currently support renaming files.
AFAIK its planned for the next version though.

as soon as libtorrent supports it, deluge will support it.
so just hang in there ;)

OOokay! Thanks for the reply. Is there a mailing list or something I can get on to be notified when it does get enabled?
