Hi,

The title says it all.

After having downloaded a torrent file which has several files in it or not (it doesn't matter for this bug), and I try to rename some file from the qBittorrent UI at the bottom of the initial tab (after clicked on Content button), I got an I/O error displayed from the systray and sharing for this torrent file stopped.

This bug is Windows specific, as I couldn't reproduce it on ArchLinux.

Regards,

I cannot reproduced. I use 3.0.6 on Windows XP sp2. This is what I did:

Added torrent to qbittorrent(both single file and multi file)
Selected torrent and clicked on "Content" tab
Right-clicked on an item and selected "Rename..."
Chose random name and clicked ok.
No i/o errors and the file was renamed instantly on the disk.

Also I saved it to an internal NTFS disk.

Do you do something differently?

In answer to your comment, I retried.
Renaming simple file structure successes, but with files located in folders (as specified by the torrent) it fails when I try to rename the folder.

#Windows7 btw.

Here is a screenshot. If you need it without uncensored, please let me know.
Before the Reason statement, you have the torrent file name, and after the location of this folder.

I got it to throw an error too this way:

Add a multifile torrent to qbittorrent
Select torrent and click on "Content" tab
Right-clicked on the torrent's folder(root folder/first item) select "Rename..."
Choose random name and click ok.
The new folder will be created with zero sized files. (The download will continue as if nothing happened)
Exit qbittorrent and launch it again
After a few seconds it throws an IO error.

I'll try to debug, but I suspect that this is libtorrent related.

@sledgehammer999 Just in case, you should probably take a look at PropertiesWidget::renameSelectedFile().

I get this error on ArchLinux when I try to rename the torrent itself or the folder containing the files.

This was fixed either as a sideffect of pull request #295 or in new libtorrent code. I cannot reproduce it in git master code compiled with the RC_0_16 branch of libtorrent.

Can you confirm also? Try my alpha builds from here: http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php?topic=1747.msg5814#msg5814

I will reopen this if you comment that you can still reproduce the bug with my alpha builds.
