I ended up with really many recursive copies of a torrent and others which I relabeled together.

Steps:

Check the "Append the label of the torrent to the save path" option.
Start downloading any torrent that creates a directory, e.g. "foldername".
Not sure if this step is necessary: wait until torrent completes.
relabel that torrent (and maybe bunch of others like I did?) to "foldername", i.e. exactly same as the folder created by torrent before
qbittorrent should try to move the torrents to this folder

Expected result:
Torrent download folder should contain: foldername\foldername...;foldername\otherrelabeledtorrent...;etc.

Actual result:
Torrent download folder contains an endless list of foldername\foldername\foldername\foldername\foldername\foldername\etc. , each containing all the files of each relableled torrent. To be fair the recursion did seem to stop at some point and didn't crash anything either. It did hang for a moment though when I tried to open the location from "Content" panel.

Environment:

Windows 7 x64
qBittorrent 3.2.1

I tested v3.3.0 alpha and this problem is fixed. If this problem is annoying you try downloading 3.3.0 https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,3606.0.html

Yes, try 3.3.0. It haves major changes in handling paths. However those changes cannot be backported to the v3.2.x series.

Good to hear path handling is improved in future releases. Does that change have an issue?

Offtopic: does the changed path handling fix problems with multiple torrents downloading into same subdirectory/files?

If you download into the same file it can never be fixed. You should ask libtorrent-rasterbar to handle that issue.
The change doesn't have an issue, they are part of a major code refactoring and shouldn't be backported to the stable branch. (although 3.3.0 is very stable anyways)
