no special characters in labels makes "append label to path" pretty pointless #1042

Like the title suggests, if I can't specify a path as a label (like "video\movie") then why would I want to append the label to the torrent's save path?

This isn't a bug. It is by design. For some insight see these relevant issues: #13 #917 #1090

Thanks for the reply. If not here, where do I post about design issues?

I read the relevant issues but they seem to deal with multiple labels. I didn't really see what that had to do with special characters or specifying a path as a label. I for one couldn't be less interested in having multiple labels right now — I just want to specify a different path per label, and if I have to use the label name itself to do that then so be it. Although a separate field for relative or absolute path per label sounds more clean and multi-platform friendly.
