Hi,
I recently switched from BiglyBT to qBittorrent and one feature that I cannot seem to figure out is the option to move files automatically when the torrent is removed from the seeding list in the app. In BiglyBT, I had it set up such that if I deleted a torrent, the files associated with that torrent would automatically be moved from my downloads directory and placed in a "post-seed" directory, which made it easier for me to keep things organized. I can't seem to find a similar feature in qBittorrent and was wondering if setting up something like this was possible? It is entirely possible I just overlooked it!
Thanks!

Re: Move When Removed?
If I am understanding your question....
As I understand it QBT doesn't do that directly.
The is an option to move downloaded data, when the torrent is completed to wherever you like. "Default Save Path".
More importantly, to me anyway, that that I can save incomplete torrents to someplace else entirely.
My setup is: some/path/_complete and some/path/_incomplete.
"deleting" the torrent, is really nothing more than kicking it out of the interface.
Once you right-click, and choose remove from from the pulldown, there is a check box: "Also remove the content files".
This will delete the files wherever they are, assuming QBT knows where they are. This is a 'hard delete', not a recycle/trash bin delete.

Re: Move When Removed?
Thanks for the reply and yeah, I've come to the same conclusion. BiglyBT had an additional feature where there was a program default that automatically moved the files to a different folder when deleting them from the app (so my usual set-up was to have three folders - one for downloading, one for seeding, and one for "post-seed"). Was hoping qBittorrent would also be able to work with that but it seems in this regard I have to be a bit more hands-on.
