Bug Report: v2.35a6 - final location desync

by Bugmagnet on 2016/04/24 09:43:54 AM    
win 7 pro
v2.35-a6

I have my Tixati configured to use 1 folder for Incoming, incomplete torrents, then to move all the content to my Finished folder.

I just finished downloading about a dozen torrents. After completion, I found Tixati showing 3 were successfully moved to the Finished folder. It showed the remaining 9 torrents to still be in the INcoming folder.

Actually the Transfer list in Tixati was desynced. Mousing over a torrent showed it to still be in my IN folder. But when I selected it and did "Open Folder" it opened explorer to X:\IN\randomtorrent\ but that folder was empty. Mousing over a file in that folder indicated it was in my FINished folder. And it was.

So I have folders for this torrent at both X:\IN\randomtorrent\ and X:\FIN\randomtorrent\ and the files are in the latter folder.

So Tixati did copy the torrent folder and contents to my FINished folder on completion, but it failed to 1] change the Location reference in Transfers to the seeding folder and 2] after that, it did not delete the empty folder in the INcoming directory Location.

Why some worked but most failed is yet to be determined.

Anyone experiencing this on Linux? or other versions of Windows?

Yup, it seems to be completely weird for this whole alpha series
Stranger yet, you can get the files in a torrent split up into multiple folders as well https://forum.tixati.com/support/2474/
(windows, 2.35 alpha 6 and previous)

Exact same problem with a3-6 here too. Hoping the new a7 truly fixes it, will know for sure in a few hours when I download a bunch

the change log for v2.35-a7 indicates work done on this issue and some things were fixed/improved.

However, I am intermittently still getting Location desync on the transfers list and failure to remove the empty folders in the DL Location after moving the torrents to the Seeding Location.

I have tried lots of tests but can't seem to find a specific cause or a means to replicate the behavior. If more of you can try testing this, especially with torrents that contain multiple files, it might help determine what triggers the failure to cleanup the INcoming folder location after complete download.

(Currently win x64 alpha7)
Seems to be broken as early as the 'load transfer' dialog

eg
With 'always auto-select file size threshold' selected and a torrent with 1 large file and two small ones
In the transfer dialog move your mouse over the files and wait for the tooltip to show the files location
Large files is incomingdir/largefile.mpg
2 small files (unticked) are incomingdir/torrentname/smallfile1.txt and incomingdir/torrentname/smallfile2.txt

On completion
largefile.mpg is moved to completed/largefile.mpg

That's fair enough (if unwanted behavior) due to the 'moving single remaining file into outer download folder after auto-select' that we can't turn off if 'always auto-select file size threshold' is ticked

Now try this again with a slight change

With 'always auto-select file size threshold' selected and a torrent with 1 large file and two small ones
In the transfer dialog move your mouse over the files and wait for the tooltip to show the files location
Large files is incomingdir/largefile.mpg
2 small files (unticked) are incomingdir/torrentname/smallfile1.txt and incomingdir/torrentname/smallfile2.txt

Tick smallfile1.txt to download it as well
Large files is still in incomingdir/largefile.mpg
2 small files (unticked) are incomingdir/torrentname/smallfile1.txt and incomingdir/torrentname/smallfile2.txt

On completion
largefile.mpg is moved to completed/largefile.mpg
smallfile1.txt is moved to completed/torrentname/smallfile1.txt

Ummmm.... yeah, totally bizarre logic there ;-)

As before though, you can get tixati to put them in the right place by right clicking on completed files in the lower pane and selecting location->reset to default

Unsure what this means for torrents that are started in one version and completed in another?

Was this fixed with the setting for "automatically move individual files when complete"? Or should this be kept off to keep everything in 1 folder until Tixati sync folder with move operation @ 100%
