Move files/folders to any location?

[Quebec704]

Hi all,

I've been using Tixati for many years but it is a banned client on many sites, so I looked for other alternative(s). I thought I'd struck gold with qBittorrent and all looks very good so far except for it seems one important omission: The ability to move any file or folder within a torrent payload to any location. This is important to me as I have a big library all organized into proper hierarchy.

e.g. Suppose I have a TV show in my collection, it is organized as so:

F:\
F:\TV Shows\
  F:\TV Shows\Dukes of Hazzard\
  F:\TV Shows\Dukes of Hazzard\Series 1
  F:\TV Shows\Dukes of Hazzard\Series 2
    :  :
  F:\TV Shows\Dukes of Hazzard\Series 7\Dukes of Hazzard - s07e11.mp4
  F:\TV Shows\Dukes of Hazzard\Series 7\Dukes of Hazzard - s07e13.mp4 -- Missing s07e12

Now I download some 'megapack' torrent that has a load of files like so:

grpname.doh.01x01.x264.aac.mp4
grpname.doh.01x02.x264.aac.mp4
:  :
grpname.doh.07x12.x264.aac.mp4

Now I know I can rename them to the 'proper' sXXeXX filename, but what I can't do is move individual files to where they belong in my collection, would it be possible to add this feature? It was mentioned in this thread: https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,2902.0.html but there's been no updates from what I can see.

What I'd like to be able to do is click on a file (or folder) name within the torrent and have options for "Location -> Move" and "Location -> Move on Complete.."

Would this be possible, or any views on such a feature?

Many thanks

Hi,

I had similar problems, but it's really a corner case.
If you're missing one episode, just download that one (and skip the others) and move it to your season folder. I personally stopped using a temp folder for incomplete torrent. I put them directly where they belong to.

An entire TV series or entire season should not have missing episode in the first place.
if it does, you can also download a torrent which is only for that missing episode and repeat for other missing ones.

but yes,  some feature-rich torrent clients offer that feature. they often get banned too!

My 2 cents,

Caj
