[FR]: Support for other cross-seeding apps (i.e Crops and Pollenizer) (--cross-seed) folder inject

[mat926]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please elaborate.

I use other cross-seed apps like Crops and Pollenizer which are designed for specific private trackers since they don't make as many requests like cross-seed does. I have cross-seed set up to inject directly into qBittorrent for other private trackers. The cross-seed folder that qBit_manage uses may be useful for other cross-seeding apps that don't support direct injection. Currently I use it as a watch folder in qBittorrent since qBit_manage does not support torrent files generated by these apps.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add cross-seed support for Crops and Pollenizer, etc.

Does your solution involve any of the following?

• [ ] New config option
• [ ] New command option

Describe alternatives you've considered

NA

Who will this benefit?

Crops, Pollenizer and other cross-seeding apps users.

Please explain and provide trace logs how the existing --cross-seed function does not work.

I just get parse errors because the file names are in a different format

While, qbm's cross-seed functionality only supports cross-seed currently, it will be deprecated soon once v6 releases. Crops looks like it hasn't had any updates in 2 years and I haven't seen any interest from any other users for support on these applications.

[ShanaryS]

In v6, cross-seed will watch a directory for .torrent files and try to match and inject.

It hasn't been tested for your use case but it should work.
