Automatic tagging based on keywords in torrent name
This is a shower thought. I am sure it can be improved upon. Leaving it here because it seems like a useful thing.
I use tagging to make it easy to organize my torrents. A torrent will typically have 1-4 tags, sometimes more. However, this means manual work whenever I add a new torrent download.
I would love to see a window where there is a list of "tag rules". I can add, edit and remove rules. For each rule I can specify:
- A rule name
- A keyword to search for in the torrent name (bonus: regular expression support)
- A list of tags to apply to the torrent if - and only if - it matches the keyword/regex.
If we want to be extra awesome, we could even list which currently existing torrents would match the rule to see that it is actually working.
Perhaps an option to "run new rule on existing torrents" when you create one.
For me this would be a huge productivity enhancement. Thanks for considering!
If this take too much time to implement, why don't we just add automatic tagging base on location path? look like this:

Including other tagging options would be good too such as if certain trackers exist.
Has this great tagging feature made it to the future implementation list yet?
If not, I would be very supportive of auto tagging by tracker URL, file name, size, ratio, upload, and download stats.
