Weird "checking" behavior

I understood the problem, thanks!
I'll see what I can do about it.

I'm fixing this for next release.

This is fixed in SVN. Thanks!

Cool, thanks :)

There is a release candidate for v2.3.0 available on Sourceforge if you wish to test before the final release.

With 2.5.1 on Windows 7 x64 there's back again one of the unlogical steps through a releasing process reported once here.

When I want to release a file from a random directory (f.e. "C:\Releases\"), qBT is moving it to the temporary directory (f.e. D:\Temp), checks it, and then seeds it out of the temp-dir although I've set the save path in the torrent addition dialog to the source directory ("C:\Releases\file.ext").

Hmm. I have completely rewritten this part of the code. It is definitely possible I introduced this bug back in v2.5.x. I will look into it.

The fix is in SVN. Thanks for telling me about the regression.

@DIB: When you package v2.5.1.1 for Windows, could you please grab the latest fixes from the v2_5_x branch as well?
