Folder Location - Adding New Torrents

Post by YobiGochida »

Please bring back something like the old dropdown menu when adding new torrents via a .torrent file, or add an option to pick a folder for the files destination. Also, the drop down should list previous folder destinations like it used to (otherwise there's not much point in it being a dropdown as it is now!)

In a previous version of qBittorent, when opening a torrent file from a folder, the program would open up and present the Add New Torrent dialog.

There used to be a drop down that listed several previously selected folders, and an option to change the downloaded files destination to a different folder.

Now there's still a dropdown, yes, but it only lists a single folder! Whats more it has to be changed in settings - and the browse option asks you to pick each individual files destination AND give it a new filename to be saved under. This gets pretty tedious when trying to add multiple files with detailed, lengthy names you may not necessarily want to change or can't possibly enter correctly.

Use the browse button and it will add more folders to the list.

But it's a save file dialog, not a folder select.

I tried browse and it asks me to save a file with a blank file name box

But it's a save file dialog, not a folder select.
The dialogue title is ... "Choose save path" .... and the dialogue is "intelligent" so:

IF you are loading a single file torrent it shows the file name that you are choosing a path for.

IF you are loading a multiple file torrent it shows the folder name that you are choosing a parent folder for.
