Show folder of torrents in inspector

[dark465]

If a torrent contains multiple folders it would be nice to see the folders in the inspector instead of all files listed. Also the possibility to mark complete folders for download should be included.

Is this already somewhere in process? This would be a very useful feature!

This probably isn't going to get implemented unless someone submits a patch for it.

The web client currently has no primary maintainer, and is getting by on submitted patches.

I'll see what I can throw together. This looks like a cool thing to start with on this project! If there are any specific things you want implemented, feel free to add them here.

I took a look at the code last night, and it really doesn't seem to have any infrastructure for doing this. I think it might take a rewrite of the TorrentFile? class in torrent.js for this to work, which is something I don't want to do as an outside contributor. If someone more familiar with the web side could look at it, that might be better.

It's by no means fancy, and I wouldn't submit it as a patch, but for myself I made a small edit to file-row.js to show the directories bulleted like

• Top level
• /Second level
• /File.ext

file-row.js:138 from v2.42 - inside the FileRow?.createRow function:

  name = file.name || 'Unknown';
+ name = "&bull; " + name.replace(/\//g, "<br/>&bull; /");
- name = name.substring(name.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
  name = name.replace(/([\/_\.])/g, "$1&#8203;");

(name contains the path relative to the download directory)

Without looking too hard it seems to build the list one file at a time; I can imagine keeping an object/hash of dirnames and nested ULs...

Actually the main challenge is that the files in a torrent are in no specific order. So presenting the files in proper tree-view order is actually not that simple. Presenting the files in torrent order with tree-view like paths gets very confusing with many files or much nesting. I know, because I have implemented both in Shift. ​https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12555

This was fixed in 2.70 as #5013.

If we want to be pedantic, #5013 is the duplicate of this ticket... however since #5013 is the one that got marked as fixed for 2.70, I'm marking this as the duplicate of that :)
