Description Sergey Galanov 2012-08-17 22:30:03 UTC

Move Storage functionality in Deluge doesn't work with rb_libtorrent 0.16. This happens because recent versions of rb_libtorrent don't include Unicode support by default (and Deluge converts path to Unicode). Instead, there is TORRENT_USE_WSTRING define to enable it.

Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2012-08-18 06:11:32 UTC

That's likely cause what you call "Unicode support" in rb_torrent is actually utf-16 functions meant for Windows only.

That's more than likely insufficient research on deluge side.

Comment 2 Sergey Galanov 2012-08-18 07:03:03 UTC

Ok, deluge devs actually know about this issue: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=39701.
Shouldn't 0.16 be masked for use with deluge then?

Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2012-08-18 14:53:32 UTC

The second comment in the upstream bug is just about right - it's a deluge workaround (for a different *Windows*-specific bug) that caused this problem in the first place.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug #426912?
