qBittorrent & operating system versions

There should be a button in the qBittorrent help to allow me to copy and paste this information easily.

qBittorrent: 4.4.0 x64
Operating system: Windows 10 Home 10.0.19043 Build 190 43 x64
Qt: 5.15.2
libtorrent-rasterbar: 2.0.5.0

What is the problem?

Used to be that I could move the location of the destination of a torrent, but since I upgraded (maybe the last one) the context menu has changed in the upper window. Seems that some consolidating of some items under Torrent options... occurred, which is good when I finally figured out that is where many of the options went. However, I couldn't directly move the destination location once it has started downloading. I figured that I should change the destination in the Save at edit box, but it didn't work. I found a workaround where I had to enable and then disable the Enable another path for incomplete torrent (I did it with closing the Torrent Options window between toggling. I also paused the torrent as well, but I don't know if that was necessary.) and that finally moved it, but I think that it should have moved it without me having to do that.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start to download something
  2. Right click on name in upper window and then select Torrent options....
  3. Change Save at edit box to move it to another location and press OK.
  4. Right click on name in upper window and then select Open destination folder.

You'll note that the folder opened is the same as when the torrent was initially downloaded. It should be the new location requested in step 3.

Additional context

I did note that there was this bug listed:

#16074

However, I'm not entirely sure if it is the same cause, so I opened another just in case.

Yep. Very annoying. QB will only move the contents after fully downloading the torrent. Which is stupid, considering that there might not be enough space on the default disk for that torrent.
I have no idea why would anyone make such behavior breaking changes solely for the sake of changes.

Will be fixed in the next version.
