Possible to change "downloading" location?

[bnji]

Hi, I have a bit of a roundabout question.

I'm using soulseekqt on macOS and have my download folder set to my "automatically add to iTunes" folder so everything pretty much sorts itself out, however I have my client set up with "downloading" and "complete" folders. 

Is it possible to keep my "complete" folder where it is but move just the "downloading" folder to another location so iTunes doesn't try to pick up files that haven't finished downloading yet?

Cheers.

No there isn't as far as I know. The way you have your stuff set up is pretty weird though. My suggestion - whatever this first "download folder" you have set to auto-add to iTunes - is that just the Soulseek downloads folder? Why not just set the "complete" folder to auto-add, instead of the parent folder? Only reason I can think of is if you have ONE downloads folder for all your stuff, including stuff besides Soulseek. In that case, change your Soulseek download location to somewhere else and again, just set the "complete" folder to auto-add.

This is something that's a dealbreaker for a lot of people with SoulSeek. The the fact that the Soulseek downloads folder's location is located in your Documents folder is crazy! Many people have that folder automatically backed up on the cloud. That it now contains extremely large files is problematic and annoying. I hope the Soulseek coders are considering locating it elsewhere.... anywhere else!

I'm running soulseek through docker myself. I have different mount points for complete and downloading folders.
Not sure in the windows build it shows the same, but I would think it does. Either way you should look into symlinking. Symlinking will present a folder from another location, where the symlink is placed.
Has fixed a lot of my issues with programs not letting me choose where save data is going.
