Description
Forwarded from the Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=590933 I realize the version in debian unstable is quite outdated, but I see no evidence in the changelogs that this issue has been resolved.
The incomplete-dir set in ~/.config/transmission/settings.json (~/Downloads by default) will be created even if incomplete-dir-enabled is set to false.

This behavior still exists in trunk and is a transmission-gtk issue rather than a Debian one.

It's easy enough to have transmission check to see if incomplete-dir-enabled is set before creating the directory, but it only pushes the error from one bug to another: unless the incomplete directory exists, the preferences dialog's GtkFileChooserButton? won't show the correct setting.
I don't see a clean fix for this, and it seems like a minor issue, so maybe it's better off leaving this as a wontfix.
Is this a Transmission or a Debian issue? Is it still a problem using 2.42? What exactly are your settings for Download locations, both partial and complete, in settings.json?
