Deluge Forum

I hate the new interface changes and it's not auto-adding my torrents.
How do I revert to an older version like 1.3.0, which worked fine?
I'm running Ubuntu Studio x64, 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx

What interface changes?

Reverting to an older version is foolish considering the huge number of bugs fixed in 1.3.1 and 1.3.2

If it is not auto adding torrents then please describe in detail the issue here or create a bug ticket and we will try to fix it.

Tray behaviour has been changed for no reason whatsoever, what used to be one click to show, one click to hide, is now a two-step process. Tray icon also now does not respond to right click, just the left click, which pops up the selection menu instead of previous behaviour of Hide/Restore to tray.

When selecting a torrent to download from a site, using FireFox, it gives the following error message:
Invalid File
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/home/guyllfyre/file:/tmp/torrentnamehere.torrent'

Worked fine under previous version(s).
Bug fixes don't mean squat if usability is broken.

To clarify, torrent is selected in FireFox, it brings up the typical dialog of whether to save or open, I select to open in Deluge.
Deluge then opens an empty add torrent dialog and produces that error.

If I save torrent to disk first, then add it, it works fine.

That's the new application indicator, you can disable it under Preferences->Interface.

That looks like a problem with your file association in firefox.

You can change file associations under Edit->Preferences->Applications.
Look for "BitTorrent Association" and make sure it is set to deluge (if it's not in the list then you can manually specify it as /usr/bin/deluge-gtk).

OK, first issue fixed. Back to working like it should.

I have checked and rechecked FireFox, it's set to use Deluge.
It DOES open Deluge when I select a torrent file but I get that error. The error comes from Deluge, NOT FF.
Setting to choose, then setting back to deluge also does not fix it.
This has only occurred with this Deluge update. Previous updates have worked fine.

Next step?

it seems to be bug related to the new .desktop file but you could try 'use other' in firefox prefs and point it to /usr/bin/deluge-gtk

If you are still having issues then the old .desktop file is here

Manually specifying /usr/bin/deluge-gtk worked but I shouldn't have had to do it.
You should make sure this gets fixed so it doesn't happen again.

Finally, that is the problem I was having with Deluge 1.3.2 in Natty.
Because Deluge was actually opening before displaying the ERRNO 2 I'd assumed it was Deluge and not Firefox that was the guilty party.

Manually changing the Firefox torrent helper application to /usr/bin/deluge-gtk solves the issue but I agree with the user above: this is not something the end user should have to do themselves.

Otherwise great release. My thanks!
