The quotes above are outputted to the system log (not sure if it can be viewed in LinuxDC++ GUI, its possible in DC++). Thus the user is informed about the failed move operation of the finished files to the destination path. The 0.760 core makes possible to keep finished files in the dl queue, however even the DC++ GUI does not have the possibility to do action with finished files (Shell menu, Open, etc...)...
I think if the user does not keep the downloaded files in the queue, he can find the error message in the log, if he keeps the files then the problem can be handled by introducing context menu actions for finished files. However in the case explained above (and Unable to move %1% to %2% (%3%); renamed to %4% message goes to the log) we must make sure that the finshed item's path points to the actual file stuck in the unfinished folder and not to the original target path where the file failed to move to...

Status in DC++: New
Status in Linux DC++: Confirmed

Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
- Make sure that your partially downloaded files directory is on your regular hard drive
- Select a file to "download to..."
- Choose a directory on a USB memory stick or hard drive as the download location
- Wait until the file starts downloading
- Unmount your USB memory stick/hard drive

The files will continue downloading, but be stored in the unfinished download directory, the directory structure is not preserved
Actions like "open file" in the finished downloads list won't work

 While not a critical issue, I had trouble finding my files after this happened once. It'd be good if a popup could appear that informs you that your files will be stored in the unfinished downloads directory, or perhaps create a directory in the user's home directory that contains the files in the proper file hierarchy

Either way, in good linux spirit, it's good if the user is told what's happening to their file system.


using linuxdc++ 1.0.3. on Kubuntu 9.10

Thanks for all your hard work! linuxdc++ is working very well!
