Coexist with the original version

Open cherinyy opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Suggestion

The Enhanced Edition currently uses the same configuration directory (qBittorrent) as the original, and the installers are mutually exclusive. Since the qBittorrent team refused to provide support for the Enhanced Edition, users need to install the original version when they need to report upstream issues.

Use case

When users report upstream issues.

Since qbittorrent natively supports multiple instances you can already do this.

qbittorrent-nox --configuration=my_custom_instance

Now all folders linked to that instance have the suffix my_custom_instance

So as soon as you want more than one instance of qBittorrent, upstream or here, you have to do this anyway. So this is the correct method

Maybe this is worth mentioning in the README ?
