Folder or not? Chance to not download folder.

Some torrents have a root folder,even if inside there is only one file.

Tixati doesn't show if torrents have a folder or not. The tree should show it

And most important,Tixati should give the chance to not download the folder together with the files inside.

Torrents can be a single file or a folder. And if a folder, it can contain additional folders.

This is controlled by whoever creates the metadata files for a torrent.

Any changes of the contents of the original torrent as defined by the metadata files, i.e. only downloading a portion, will impair re-sharing that torrent as you would not have all of the contents needed to re-share or seed.

Tixati does show internal folders when a torrent is selected and then the view expanded. See also Tixati/Transfers/Files tab for content details.

If those details show only a single file, then there will be no root folder. If it shows multiple files it will have a root folder to contain them. This prevents file name clashes and aids in organization as well as keeping content intact for seeding after downloading.

Here we have only 1 file but one client shows that there is also a folder,while Tixati said nothing about,beucase it never shows root folders. It's not important if inside the folder we have 1 file,more than 1 file or folders. The root folder doesn't not "exists"
