Filter by Directories (torrent save paths)

Open Znote opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Suggestion

In the client, I can easily filter my torrents by status, categories, tags and trackers. I would love to also filter by "Directories", which auto populates based on an unique list of save paths for all torrents.

Use case

I rarely spend time organizing my torrents into tags or categories. I tend to use save path to store them in different folders /HDD.

For instance, I have an SSD for hot and new torrent files, and I transition them to a slower medium once they are "consumed", so I keep seeding them, and have a track record of where I left off when downloading continuation files later on.

I frequently need to do maintenance on my SSD save path list, periodically move them over to the slower but bigger size HDDs.

Extra info/examples/attachments

I'm currently using v4.4.0

(My SSD is so small, I sometimes have to temporarily shift some torrents to a slow medium before I get time to consume them) 😎 Hence why I have SSD C:TEMP and HDD D:CTEMP.

My daily drive use of the qBittorrent software is easy and straightforward, I download to a location for consumption, then when I'm done consuming the content I transfer them to a slow medium for seeding, or removing them.

Having the ability to filter by torrent save path is a great idea. Today, you have to select all torrents, sort by the "Save path" column. It's not practical.

Or maybe add a dropdown next to the search input:
