Allow to exclude the root folder name from file paths #166

Closed 0Dmitry closed 2 years ago

What version of this package are you using? 5.0.2 What problem do you want to solve? I want to create a torrent file from a folder but I don't want the file paths within the generated torrent file to contain that folder name. For example if I have a this folder structure

MyRootFolder
--- folder1
------ file1.txt
--- file2.txt

In resulting torrent file I want to get this structure:

folder1
--- file1.txt
--- file2.txt

But instead I am getting the original structure with the MyRootFolder as the root folder.

I tried to pass the files to the createTorrent function as an array of stream.Readable with the path props modified, so they don't contain MyRootFolder. Also tried setting the name property. I didn't get the desired result in any case.

What do you think is the correct solution to this problem? Provide a way to exclude the root folder name from the file paths within the torrent file, so only the content of the specified folder is included without the folder itself.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
