Difficulty selectioning the torrent folder for torrents with unique files, qBitorrent creating a nested folder

[delaszy]

I have been importing torrents / adding them to qBitorrent. Those were completed torrents (all the files were on my drive). Some I created myself.

I decided to use the feature "import an existing torrent". Then I selected the torrent file to import, in the GUI to choose the torrent file. The first line in the attached picture. This worked well.

The next step was to choose the path to where my files are actually stored on my drive. For several torrents it worked, but for others, the GUI reacted weirdly. As far as I understood the pattern, it worked well for the folders containing more than one file, and weirdly when only one file was contained in the folder.

Let's take this example : mytorrentfolder, located inside the alltors folder, contains torfile1 and torfile2. Another torrent, torfile3 is located under the folder myuniquetor (also in the "alltors" folder).
The paths are as follow : alltors/mytorrentfolder/torfile1 and alltors/mytorrentfolder/torfile2 for the two files in the first torrent (let's call that one torA). alltors/myuniquetor/torfile3 for the third file in the second torrent (torB).

So, when adding torA, in the second line of the dialog I attached, the line "path to content", i select the folder "alltors". Then I click OK and it works.
When adding torB, I try to select "alltors" but it autoselects "myuniquetor" instead. Then when trying to verify it fails and starts to download... When checking if torfile3 is in the right location, I notice that qBitorrent created a folder named "myuniquetor" withing the original "myuniquetor" folder.

It seems to be an issue within the selecting GUI dialog. Mostly it autoselecting folders whenever there is a unique file in the torrent. It seems to autoselect whatever was last selected, or the first in the list of folders.

A possible workaround/test would be to have access to a command-line way to specify the path, see if that works, to identify if the problem is in the GUI selection or in the program's way of handling torrents with one file only. I haven't dug deep enough to know if I can test that myself.
