Hi, first of all, thank you for this great software! I have been using it for quite a while (and advertising it to everyone around) but recently have noticed a strange behavior.
When I select a single file to download from a torrent, it goes directly to my default folder. While I would prefer for it to be automatically put in a subfolder as is the case with downloads containing multiple files, this is perfectly ok.
However, when I then select more files, they are put in a subfolder, causing the torrent to be located in two locations. This is very cumbersome when, for example, I later try to move it manually or when simply double clicking the torrent in Tixati and the folder that is opened doesn't contain all the files.
To sum up:
current behavior:
My default folder is \downloads\, the torrent ABC contains files A, B and C. I select only A to download, and it's put in \downloads\A.ext.
Then, later, I select also B and C. They are automatically put in \downloads\ABC\. File A is not in the same folder now.
expected behavior:
All files A, B and C should be located in \downloads\ABC\. File A could be put in this folder right at the start or moved immediately after selecting files B and C to download.
I hope I didn't miss some obvious fix to this :) Cheers!

Go to settings-transfers-files
make sure 'Always auto-select files in new transfers' is NOT on.
that way when you start a single file in a torrent it will be put into its folder, and if you select more files later, they will end up in that folder with the first file you started.

Thanks a lot, this workaround works and I'll use it from now on.
However, this approach is much slower and defeats the purpose of the file auto-selection functionality (quick selection of only large files) and looks even more to be a bug, or at least undocumented/unexpected behavior.
