No .torrent file created

[dolphinkite]

What version of WebTorrent Desktop are you using?
I'd like to think it is the latest since I only installed it a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, when I click on "About WebTorrent" I get a cropped window that I can't resize and doesn't show the exact version. It's a bad start when you about window isn't working...

What operating system and version?
Win10. Up to date.

What happened?
Nothing. That's the problem

What did you expect to happen?
I guess I expected a .torrent file would be created.
I simply went in "create new torrent from folder", selected a folder that has 540 files (55GB) and clicked "create torrent" and immediately I'm back to the main screen, with no apparent change. Tried it many times. Always the same.

I tried to simply add a file and that worked. But not for folders.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?

Re: About window cutoff

Thank you for reporting. This was fixed in #1737, but a new binary hasn't been built to ship it yet.

Re: Creating a Torrent

Here's a gif of what happens on my machine when I create a torrent:

There's not an explicit .torrent file created, but you can right click on the new torrent file, and choose Copy Magnet Link to Clipboard to share with others.

Are you having a different experience?
