qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent: 4.6.4 aarch64
Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS aarch64
Qt: 6.4.3
libtorrent-rasterbar: 1.2.19

What is the problem?

I have configured a specific folder to be monitored by qBittorrent. However, regardless of whether I set the Override Save Location to the Default Save Location or a custom folder, the actual files are downloaded to the monitored folder. I tried to fix this by manually editing the watched_folders.json file, setting use_auto_tmm to true, but the issue persists. Even after setting use_auto_tmm to true, the Automatic Torrent Management feature doesn't activate for torrents added from the Watched Folder. Additionally, this setting seems to reset to false whenever I change other preferences in the web UI and save them.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Tools -> Options -> Downloads -> Set up a Monitored Folder (e.g., /home/user/torrent-files).
  2. Under Override Save Location, choose either Default save location or Other... to specify a custom location.
  3. Actual downloaded contents will still save to the Monitored Folder (/home/user/torrent-files).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Tools -> Options -> Downloads -> Set up a Monitored Folder (e.g., /home/user/torrent-files).
  2. Under Override Save Location, choose Other... to specify a custom location.
  3. Actual downloaded contents will still save to the Monitored Folder (/home/user/torrent-files).

Can't reproduce in 5.0.0beta1. Torrent is downloaded where instructed in Other...

Even after setting use_auto_tmm to true, the Automatic Torrent Management feature doesn't activate for torrents added from the Watched Folder.

Also can't reproduce. In case you didn't know, use_auto_tmm is for using the category's save path.

I created a new category called ‘monitored’ and configured its save path.

categories.json:

{
    "monitored": {
        "save_path": "/home/redacted/torrents/qbittorrent"
    }
}

I edited watched_folders.json so that torrents added from the monitored folder will automatically be assigned to this category.

watched_folders.json:

{
    "/home/redacted/torrents/sendtoclient": {
        "add_torrent_params": {
            "category": "monitored",
            "download_limit": -1,
            "download_path": "/home/redacted/torrents/qbittorrent",
            "inactive_seeding_time_limit": -2,
            "operating_mode": "AutoManaged",
            "ratio_limit": -2,
            "save_path": "/home/redacted/torrents/qbittorrent",
            "seeding_time_limit": -2,
            "skip_checking": false,
            "tags": [
            ],
            "upload_limit": -1,
            "use_auto_tmm": true
        },
        "recursive": false
    }
}

The contents are still being downloaded to the monitored folder (/home/redacted/torrents/sendtoclient).
