Adding torrents from browser executes new UI instead of using existing one

I can confirm that it does indeed do this. While I wouldn't consider it a deal breaker (I love qBittorrent.), it is quite annoying.

I guess you two are using Qt >= 4.4?

I use a new singleInstance code with Qt4.4 and it looks like it is unreliable. I'll try to fix it. If I can't before final, I'll simply use the same code as with previous Qt versions.

Thanks for reporting this.

Yes, I have qt-4.4.3 on Fedora 9.

Ok. This is fixed in svn.

Note that this means that qBittorrent was not cleanly shutdown before. Anyway, if local domain socket is not closed properly, I simply delete its file now so that I can open it again. It is now reliable.

v1.2.0 released. Thanks guys.

I'm afraid this bug has come back. QBT 2.1.6 under KDE 4.4 on Fedora 12.

A do not have this bug on Debian core 2.6.32, GNOME, qt 4.6.x
Oh and i use qBitTorrent 2.3.0beta1 from SVN

Exit any running copy of QBT and type the following from a Shell:

qbittorrent & qbittorrent &

On my system I get two copies of QBT running (this may not be obvious because they both occupy the same screen space). The reason is that there's a race condition when QBT starts, which occurs if two instances try to start almost simultaneously. The race is caused by QBT checking for the existence of /tmp/qbittorrent-<uid>, which is not reliable since a previous instance may not yet have had time to create the file. It's a small window, but it happens to me almost every time when I have QBT as part of my KDE saved session and also starting via Autostart. I disabled it in Autostart to work around the problem, but that's not a real solution.

I'm almost done fixing this.

This is fixed in SVN. Thanks!

Excellent, I look forward to trying it.
