Fight Alzheimer's of dialogs (memorize last used folders, tracker, ...)

qBittorrent: 2.3.0
System: Windows 7 x64

Hi

Like the most MultiOS tools, sadly also qBT doesn't give a native feeling while using it's dialogs.

F.e., when I want to add a new torrent, qBT set's every time "desktop" or since 2.3.0 the qBittorrent install dir as active directory. The standard Windows (?) behaviour would be setting the directory to the last one used. The same thing on the "Create Torrent"-dialoge - when "add files" or "add folder" gets pushed, qBT doesn't use the last directory, it selects the user directory. This is really exhausting when you want to create or add some torrents out of the same directory successive.

It's also very annoying the last used tracker in the "Announce URLs"-field of the "Create Torrent"-dialoge doesn't get memorized. A history would be a really big gain to the usability - at moment, I always have to search and copy the tracker-URL again and again. Also last used settings, like the chunk size or if the torrent should get created private or seeded after creation, should be remembered.

As poweruser, I really hope you could change this behaviour, it would save a lot of the user's time. :)

I believe I remember the last directory for at least some of the dialogs. Could you be more specific and tell me which dialog(s) is not behaving as expected?

I'll look into it after my vacation.

Here we go:

1. "Create Torrent"-Dialog (CTRL+N): "Add File" and "Add Directory" buttons. Both don't remember the last directory, it always gets %USERPROFILE% opened. The Tracker-URL and other inputs and settings doesn't get remembered, too.

2. "Add Torrent"-Dialog (CTRL+O): "C:\Program Files (x86)\qBittorrent" is set as directory all the time.

Enjoy your vacation! :)

Oh, an addition:

"Create Torrent"-Dialog (CTRL+N): "Create & Save"-Button opens also %USERPROFILE% instead of the last used folder.

I have fixed in SVN path remembering in torrent creation dialog.

However, in the torrent addition dialog, the path is voluntarily reset to the default one (set in program options). In any case, the torrent addition dialog uses a combo box and your previously selected path is actually remembered and available from that combo box.

Sounds great, thanks for taking care of user requests.
I will have have a look into it with the next Windows build you compile :)

Hey.

Is the fix already in the windows build v2.4.0 or only in dev versions?
Because I still have this bug there.
