logfile of data locations?

[autonomy]

Hi all,

I'm a long time Transmission user, though just now decided to joint the forums. I've got a bit of a problem regarding where Transmission is pointed towards to look for data. I'll explain my situation:

I'd been having some big problems with my OS, and was also still on Leopard, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone by wiping my system drive and do a clean install of Snow Leopard, then bring all my data back from a backup disk. All this worked (relatively) smoothly, though because I've changed some things on the new disk, I have a Transmission issue. On my previous drive, I had two partitions: one for the OS and home folder stuff, and another containing all my torrent downloads and large files. However, when I wiped the drive I decided to just use one partition. Now all my torrent downloads are now in my home folder, which means, as you can guess, Transmission is looking for data on a non-existent volume.

I was hoping that the "move data file to..." feature would help with this, but Transmission insists on crashing soon after I try moving any files. I'll probably look through the bug reports after I settle all this (or maybe add one), but that's not really the point of this. I'm wondering if there is a file stored in ~/Library/Application Support that stores the location of data files for each torrent (I imagine there would be), and can I edit it manually with a text editor to point transmission to the right folders? That way I can just bypass the application and worry about the crashing after I get all my torrents up and seeding again.

Also, I'm using Transmission 2.03, and Mac OS 10.6.0

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I ended up fixing the crashing issue pretty easily (updated to 10.6.4, stupid on my part), and after some more poking around I realized the tool I needed was "verify local data," and that got all my torrents seeding again. Problem solved, thanks anyway...
