Deluge (torrent client)

[the_watcher]

I haven't tested it, but if you're launching Deluge with a batch file, you might be able to change that location with a local variable.

So, assuming your batch is inside Deluge's folder and there's a 'config' sub-folder, you could have this in your batch:

• Code: Select all

  SET APPDATA=%~dp0\config

For this to work, you need to leave the original key value intact:

• Code: Select all

  appDataPath = os.environ.get("APPDATA")

Yes, that seems to work, Midas. So you can totally ignore the common.py instructions i posted above,
and just create a batch file with this code:

Code: Select all

SET APPDATA=%~dp0\config
start deluge.exe -c "config\deluge"

I don't know that much about batch files, so i followed the common.py file
guidelines to do it. Your method is definitely much simpler

For the registry stuff and the recently-used.xbel file in \user\current\AppData\Local,
i suppose we need a wrapper...

Great.

And if you provide details of those registry keys, I could assemble a yaP launcher config for you to test...

Awesome, Midas.
However, i'm not aware of any registry entries myself.
Giulia asked about the registry, i've just replied to him/her, perhaps he/she could clarify a bit more.

[Midas]

OK.

I updated the entry a little bit:

1. I'm directly linking to the download. I found the process and exact EXE file to grab confusing so I'm trying to save users time.
2. The "_outdir" directory didn't show up in my testing so I put in an "if" statement.
3. Minor entry edit

EDIT: I'm glancing back through this thread and I'm not clear on whether the -c data argument is enough to resolve portability issues. Should this be in the database?

You are right- I spotted this several hours ago when I extracted the installer but I forgot to report it. When the installer (deluge-1.3.13-win32-py2.7-0) is extracted by 7-Zip 16.02 there is no $_OUTDIR folder.

I am not a portability specialist but

Code: Select all

 -c data

really creates data folder containing program's setting. So used without plug-ins Deluge is portable and my opinion is that it should stay in the database.

Thanks. Entry updated.

Latest version is 2.0.3 (2019-06-12), but:

Unfortunately due to move to GTK3 and Python 3 there is no installer package currently available for Windows.

Intrepid users can install Deluge from separate packages as detailed in issue #3201.
