Description (last modified by charles)

Downstream ticket reported by Tim Kornhammar

​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/259123

Here are the steps:

  • a copy of Transmission ("copy 1") is already running
  • your browser is set to add torrents by calling "transmission %N"
  • in your browser, you click on a torrent
  • browser downloads it to a temp file
  • browser invokes "transmission /some/tmpfile"
  • copy 2 of transmission starts up
  • copy 2 passes filename to copy 1 via dbus
  • copy 2 exits
  • browser deletes the temporary file
  • copy 1 tries to load the file in, but the browser's deleted it

Solution:

Copy 2 should load the metainfo immediately, and pass that to copy 1. The temporary file is guaranteed to exist until copy 2 exits, and it won't be referenced after that.
