Randomly unchecks 'Extract torrent in-place'

[mkulina]

Every few days, if I check preferences the 'extract torrent in-place' is unchecked causing all my downloads to not be extracted one they've finished. Happened on both deluge and binhex-delugevpn.

Using unRAID. Let me know if you need any system specs or logs.
deluge 1.3.15

This issue exists for me too, infuriating.

This has never happened to me before. @mkulina, @aaomidi How can a checked preference in the settings uncheck itself ? I need more details to reproduce this issue

I have never had this happen to me on either my Windows 10 or Ubuntu boxes. Are you sure the user you are running deluge as has the appropriate permissions to write to the config file directory?

[mkulina]

Yup. Because it will work for about 3-4 days. Then suddenly sonarr will say there is no file to import, and when I check the file. It hasn’t been extracted, which in turn I check my preferences and it has randomly been unchecked.

The only plug ins I’m running are: MyScheduler, label, and simple extractor. If there’s anything else I can provide to assist you, please let me know. Running all from root user.

This is happening to me as well. Running Deluge 1.3.15 on Win 7

My issue is exactly as @mkulina describes it to be.

same for me. I just loaded up my Deluge web and it was unchecked. Something to note is that in my thin client the options is unchecked and in the web client it was check. When i first opened the web client, a path was set and it was unchecked. But with the thin client, it was like nothing was configured.

My deluge daemon runs on a seed box and i connect over web and using my windows thin client.

I stand corrected. I just got this bug as well. It also wiped out the "Extract to:" field. Deluge 1.3.15 on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. Interestingly enough, looking in the config file itself still shows the options in enabled.

This hasn’t happened to me - I will try to reproduce this issue, however any help like screenshots of the setting spähe and the configuration file would be appreciated.

To @ALL who experience this issue:

• Are the settings applied when it’s written correctly to the configuration file but not shown correctly in the configuration Settings page?
• In case the settings are not set in the settings UI, does reconfiguring in the Settings UI fix things ?

@cvarta This screenshot represents the initial status of the UI versus the actual .conf:

I then checked the "Create torrent in place" and unchecked "Extract torrent in place". I then restarted the daemon and reconnected with the client. The simpleextractor.conf remained unchanged from its original state.

Next I shutdown the daemon/client again and deleted the simpleextractor.conf~ file, but this did not resolve the issue either.

Lastly, I disabled the plugin in the UI, Shutdown the daemon/client and deleted the .conf file. I restarted the daemon/client and re-enabled the plugins selecting the desired options. I restarted it once more but the UI still refused to show the selected options however the brand new simpleextractor.conf had the appropriate settings.

It seems like beyond the initial selections made when enabling the plugin, the settings never get updated?

@kaptainkommie , thank you for your clear description. I think I have a clear idea what causes the issue. I will make sure to fix this bug as soon as I am back home (business trip atm)
