This is a problem both on v4.4.0 and v4.4.1
It isn't a bug. It is intended behavior of recursive mode of watched folders, it either create subfolder in chosen save path or subcategory in chosen category depending on chosen management mode (automatic or manual).
"Don't create sub-folder" is chosen.
It doesn't affect save path.
Place a torrent in a sub folder named x (for example) inside the watched folder, qBittorrent creates a new category called
test/x
and downloads the torrent to the default Downloads folder.
So it downloads into, e.g., default_downloads
rather than default_downloads/test/x
?

It actually downloads into 'default_downloads/test/x' rather than 'test/x'. Which means that if you choose a path other than the inside of the default download path for your category, it won't work properly.

Do you plan on adding an option to change the behavior to the old behavior. Because I had to downgrade to v4.3.9 so that sub-folders are also downloaded to the root category.

To be more clear, let's assume that my category path is D:/test. if I place the torrent in the watched sub-folder named x, it gets installed into C:/users/username/Downloads/test/x rather than D:/test/x.
qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent: 4.4.1 x64 Operating system: Windows 11 Pro 21H2 10.0.22000
What is the problem?
qBittorrent creates a new category when downloading from a watched sub-folder in recursive mode.
