I have some issues with the external program parameters.
For a torrent with multiples files i dont receive the correct torrent path, Ex.:

torrent base path: d:\torrents
torrent name: My Torrent Name
torrent subdir: My.Torrent.Name

current parameters

%f: d:\torrents 
%n: My Torrent Name (it's not subdir)

suggestion

%f: d:\torrents\My.Torrent.Name
%n: My Torrent Name (it's not subdir)

For my script i need the complete path (base path + subdir (d:\torrents\My.Torrent.Name)) in order to copy the file to another folder, but the parameter %f only has the base path (the path where all my torrents were downloaded) and i need the full path.

In some cases i can use the torrent name but there are torrents with different name and subdir.

Please add the subdir to the %f parameter or add a new parameter for the subdir.

Thank you.

Possibly because you have edited the 'name' (the task list caption) or edited the top most folder name.

Should we follow utorrent format (%F, %D, etc.)?
So that user won't have to change their script.

I think yes. But we also can keep backwards compatibility:
%f = Torrent path = %D
%n = Torrent name = %N

Most of these were implemented in #3457. However, in #3984 we discuss slight changes to them. If anyone has something to say please comment there.
