How to define RELATIVE directory paths for download/save directory?
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2018 8:22 am
I installed qBittorrent on an external hard disk which is connected by USB to my current computer and got the drive letter H:
Currently I specfied absolute directory pathes for
Options-->Downloads--->Default Save path=H:\torr\qbit\incompletefiles\
Options-->Downloads--->keep incomplete torrents in=H:\torr\qbit\incompletetorr\
Options-->Downloads--->Copy .torrent files for finished downloads in=H:\torr\qbit\downloadedtorr\
Occasionally I connect the mentioned external USB hard disk to other computers like my notebook.
So it could happen that another drive letter is assigned to it.
The disadvantage is that the directories specified as above become invalid.
What I need is a way to specify RELATIVE directory paths starting from the qbittorrent installation directory
(similar to unix style) e.g.(mind the leading dot!):
Options-->Downloads--->Default Save path=.\incompletefiles\
The way with the leading dot seems not to work.
Is there another way (e.g. by entering a variable like %QBITINSTALLDIR%\incompletefiles\)
Or can this be implemented in the next release?
Thank you
Peter
