Description Cygni X 2016-04-30 03:06:13 UTC

KTorrent 5.0 does retain 'Folder to store torrent information' configuration. It always reverts back to ~/.local/share/ktorrent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Under Settings menu, select Configure KTorrent
2. Select Application 
3. Under Folders, modify the Folders to store torrent information to a valid path.

Actual Results:  
The path reverts to default configuration ~/.local/share/ktorrent


Expected Results:  
KTorrent should retain a valid set path.

Examining the log files, there is this error:
Error : Cannot create directory file:///path/of/directory/

Comment 1 Cygni X 2016-04-30 03:10:20 UTC

The 'Copy torrent files to:' also appears to generate write error although it retains the configured path.

I wonder if this bug is related to what is described here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363337#c7
