Solution:
RSS rules are lost after changing login user name
Cause:
Different user profile was found and it's all settings restored.
Understand:
- Rtorrent-Pro by default uses
rtorrent
login name - we call this profile. In that profile user has configured some settings and added one intial RSS rule.
- Later admin decided to change its login name from
rtorrent
toxyz
. That means it's previous profile has changed fromrtorrent
toxyz
. All is fine, settings are kept including RSS rule.
- After an rtorrent-Pro upgrade or reinstalling it again to perform password recovery, rtorrent initiates with default
rtorrent
profile to login where no RSS rules are configured.
Scenarios:
Two scenarios may happen now.
- User configured RSS rules in
rtorrent
profile. Once he changed user name again to the previous profilexyz
an old profile was restored with old settings including RSS rules.
- User forgot his old profile name or changed name to
abc
instead toxyz
. So the current settings fromrtorrent
profile was applied.
Solution:
- Restore old user profile to revert all settings by changing user name to old profile name.
