Comment 5 for bug 246433

I seem to have totally overreacted when I read your proposal. ;-) I can give you the assurance that we won't bind LottaNZB to GNOME systems only. There don't even seem to be Python bindings for GIO/VFS actually.

I think it's a good way to start with the simplistic version, which is, as aVirulence said, quite easy to implement. I have to agree with aVirulence about having only one new option which enables the user to change PREFIX_DIR (as I mentioned, we don't use PREFIX_DIR but changing this option would update all directories except for DEST_DIR unless it's in PREFIX_DIR).

For the moment, we could check if there are any active downloads in the queue and if so, display a warning that the progress of the active download will be lost. It would be easy to move all NZBs in old_dir/nzb/daemon.queue to new_dir/nzb/daemon.queue, which would ensure that at least the queued NZBs won't be lost.

A don't see any reason to let the user select each directory separately either.
