I tried downloading some torrents to my F drive. When added the torrents
went to an error state and said "The filename, directory name, or volume
label syntax is incorrect". After a few failes trying to use "move
download folder" to get it to work, at one point I got and error after
clicking "move download folder" that said "The folder contents could not
be displayed" "Error when getting information for file "E:\Program
Files\Deluge\F:":Input/output error"

seems like maybe for some reason it was trying to use the deluge install
dir + selected location? not sure what happened. Not sure if this was what
was happening from the start or not.

Comment (by Doadin):

No idea if it is related or not but looking in the conf files I notice:
gtk3ui.conf:
"choose_directory_dialog_path" has \ \ between each dir.
core.conf:
"download_location_paths_list" has 2 items "F:" which did not work and
"E:\ \VMs" which I have used many times in the past and does work.
"download_location" after seeing the other parts and tring to set it
to F looks like "F:\ \"

After trying to move the files again but not use the saved locations it
moved to "F:\"(shown in the move download folder" dialog, just fine.

so maybe the saved locations is not adding the "\" or "\ \" needed for
locations in the root of a drive?

I have done a little more testing and adding a root of a drive to the
saved locations or favorites, idk what they are called but the drop down
of locations. if you add the root of a drive it add ex. adding drive F =
"F:" F: does not work as a location "F:\" does. just using the file
picker or w.e. just chooseing not with saved locations it comes out as
"F:\" so seems like for some reason the saved location for drive roots
removes end \. and locations are not valied without the \.
