Move not only specific files but whole folder

Post by Nick222 »

Hello :)

I download two torrent-pack-files in same folder.

Then I want to move one pack to another folder - but qBittorrent moving whole folder with all files in it.

Can I move only one torrent-pack-files and do not move other?

You can't.

As said many times qbittorrent {and libtorrent} are not files managers, the work with blocks of data that make up the complete payload not individual 'files', and once the files of two payloads become mixed in one folder they are inextricably connected.

It's a consequence of the fact that libtorrent does not create a separate sub folder for each payload.

Nick,

Can you give a more detailed explanation, please? What do you mean exactly by torrent packs, moving the one?

For example:
1) I download Torrent1 and it download all it`s files (not one file) in FolderA on my disk.
2) May be then creator of Torrent1 rename some it`s files and create from this new files Torrent2 - but all files put in the same(!) folder as Torrent1 (FolderA).
3) Then I download new Torrent2 and it download all it`s files (not one file) in FolderA on my disk also.
4) Then I want to move all files from Torrent2 to another folder on my disk (and stay other files in FolderA without moving).
I open menu by right mouse button on Torrent2 and click "Move...".
And qBittorrent move whole(!) FolderA to new place - when Transmission and KTorrent in the same situation move only files from Torrent2 - not from Torrent1.

Excuse me my very bad English :)
