"Error: incomplete torrents directory path is not absolute" thrown when "Use separate directory for incomplete files" is unticked and "Path for incomplete files" is empty #192

Whenever I click save on Server settings, it keeps throwing this error even though I don't want to use a separate directory for incomplete torrents.

It has to be a valid path anyway, just copy the download path. The error is coming from the server btw, not TrguiNG.

It doesn’t appear to come from the server, since I changed some settings in the web UI and saved, and no error was thrown.

That doesn't mean it's not coming from the server, it just means that web UI (I'm assuming you mean native transmission web ui) happens to work in a way that doesn't run into this issue. This is a quirk of transmission API and it's validation logic, I could work around it similar to how native web ui does but it's not worth the effort when there is such a simple workaround. Just set incomplete dir path same as download path, it won't be used anyway.

Thank you for your time, I did that and it works fine.
