Initial implementation of this idea to extend the torrent creation wizard to allow torrents to be created from arbitrary files/directories.

*note the interface may change somewhat, this is an initial release to get some testing and feedback*

A third option has been added to the wizard to select this mode:

You can then drag+drop the files and directories you want in the torrent onto the wizard:

If there is more than one thing in the torrent you need to specify the name of the container that the items will logically be put into.

Currently there is no way to remove a file, you need to hit the ‘back’ button and restart. Also it isn’t possible to rename the items added, although again this can be added if people want the option.

You will want to seed this torrent (not much point in creating it otherwise) - either select the ‘seed’ option in the wizard

or if you add it to Vuze manually later make sure you add it for seeding.

Some users have been having issues when adding files to devices caused by the device’s storage location being full or invalid - the operation failed silently! Such errors have now been made visible in the same way that other device issues are reported - a warning triangle is shown, with a tooltip giving details (or right-click on the device to show its properties, the error is shown there too):
