Description hotmusicfan 2017-09-07 00:11:54 UTC

Hello!
I've tried to create a .torrent with KTorrent but it seems impossible.
1. UI says "File or directory to create torrent from" but actually it allows adding only directories (folders)
2. Actually the only recognized folder is user's /home; When I reach to my prepared folder (for example /home/<username>/Desktop/<folder_name> it can "see" only /home/<username>/.
