Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

Distribution: Ubuntu 8.04 / 8.10
Version: Transmission 1.32

Transmission doesn't seem to remember the file being opened after one file has been opened already using firefox. This is hard to describe, please see the steps below.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open firefox (or possibly any web browser)
2) Locate a .torrent file and click it
3) Select "Open with [Transmission BitTorrent Client]" (not Save File) and press OK
* Transmission should appear with the Torrent Options. Note the Torrent file is correctly mentioned.
4) Select Add
* The torrent should have been successfully added.
5) Repeat steps 2 and 3 (ie. find another torrent file and open it)

What should happen:
The Torrent Options appear with the correct Torrent file selected, ready for adding.

What actually happens:
The Torrent Options appear with the Torrent file listed as (None). Selecting Add results in nothing at all.

I don't understand what this bug report means. When I try to add two torrents, I get two "add torrent" dialogs, but Transmission won't know about either torrent until I press `add' in one of the dialogs.

Tim: could you walk me through step-by-step, click-by-click, how to reproduce this issue?

I download one torrent file via Firefox and open it with transmission.
Before I add it within transmission I download a second torrent and
open it with transmission as well. Now the local address to the first
torrent file has been "forgotten" and I need to locate it again in the
/tmp/ folder.

I have updated the bug description. This bug is hard to describe since it doesn't happen the first time, but hopefully I have made the steps clear enough so that others can reproduce the problem.

Note that as a workaround, you can use Save File for torrents and open them through nautilus (for example).
