Does using categories on Windows, allow you to define save location?

Post by qbitusernamehere »

I am baffled by the use of categories?
I'm using linux / freeBSD and the categories do NOT allow me to choose where the files save?



In order for me to force a custom save location per content for qbittorrent, I need to use the "blackhole" method. 
I have 3 blackhole folders.
"blackhole/torrentmovies"
"blackhole/torrenttv"
"blackhole/regulartorrent"


Obviously, these 3 blackhole monitors configured in qbit, allow me to define where each blackhole saves such as "moviescompleted"  "tvcomplete" etc


I would gladly use normal API injection method of torrents (which lets me choose category) but I can't define a save location?
It seems like if a torrent is imported into qbittorrent, AND it has a category, the category should allow the option for force a save location.
(I think utorrent did this? Same with Vuze Azureus)

Any thoughts on this?

I copy and move files around all the time and I have never had files get corrupted.  Yes, I am using windows 7.

That's not what this thread is actually about.
