"no data found" stays even after correcting the folder

Hi there,

I just moved some files manually and then I changed the location in the torrent's properties using the "data is already there" option.
Unfortunately, I selected the wrong folder, and when I tried to "verify local data", i got the "no data found" error. OK, that was my fault.
But when I corrected the folder in the properties, the error message did not go away. I still could not "verify local data".
After closing and restarting Transmission, the torrent was fine and I could successfully "verify local data".

It looks like once a torrent is flagged errorneous, no user action (except restart) can remove this flag.

Is there a trick to remove the error without restart or is that a bug ?

I am using Transmission-GTK 2.84 on Arch Linux (64 bit).

Thanks and Regards,
Tuxolero

I have just found a workaround how to fix the torrent without restarting transmission:

You just need to open the context menu of the torrent and
  • Set Location ...
  • Start
Starting the torrent will trigger a re-check and if the location was set correctly, it is fixed.
