how to exclude files when creating torrent

[fischerdf]

Hello,

I've just started using qBittorent & have a question. How do I exclude certain files when I select a folder, when I create  a torrent? I don't see any option to do this. I have tried selecting a file instead, but selecting a second file merely replaces the original rather than adding to it.

My goal is to select just the mp3 files in my folder & to exclude any .rtf or .txt files

I am running Win 10, QBT V 4.13

Can someone help with this?

Interesting. I can't figure out how to do that either.

A workaround would be temporarily moving the unwanted files out of the folder first.
Then add folder to create the torrent. Once done, put the moved files back in.

Yes, that's what I've done but it's a bit time-consuming. Sometimes I also accidentally have a leftover .ini or .db file from Win XP & I can't delete it or the torrent will end up 99%. Well, I'll have to search a bit more or try another just to create torrents. QBT is fast in most ways so I don't want to give up entirely.

Were you able to figure out an alternative? I have to create some torrents where moving the files is simply not feasible

In Win10 set the file/folder properties to hidden and qb won't add it to torrent.

Would be a good idea to add that info to the Torrent Creator window.
