Move Files After Downloading

I migrated from utorrent to qbit and so far it's working great.

I miss the "Force Start" and I hope it'll be added later.

I have one problem with download directory.

utorrent have option to set a directory for all the temporary download then after finishing the download, the files can be moved to another directory.

On qbit at the Downloads settings, I set "Keep Incomplete Torrents in" on a certain directory while set "Save Files to Location" on different directory. After the torrent finished downloading, the torrent files and directory is still at the incomplete torrent directory and did not move to "Save Files to Location" directory.

Is there a way for qbit to move files to different location after it finishes downloading?

Edit

It moved after all.

I just checked and it does move the files after download. It just didn't say it was moving files in the window like utorrent did.

Just so you know if those two folders are on the same disk/partition the move is near instantaneous. Otherwise, it has to copy the data first and the delete which takes time.

I have a problem with this. It only moves completed files when they are added from a torrent file, but not from magnet links. Is this a bug? Unfortunately I have to go back to utorrent if this can't be solved, since it is a important feature for me.

Check what the "Save in" drop down is displaying when you load a magnet because that seems to determine the final location and the location while downloading, whereas loading metada files directly, follows the settings in "Downloads".
