Consolidate torrents to one window when adding multiple torrents

[Kobrakaj]

Reposting my thread I put on your forums "https://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topic,3764.0.html" Hello

I recently stopped using µtorrent and tried a bunch of different clients and I found qbit and deluge to be the best alternatives.

I've switched between deluge and qbit this last week and I find qbittorrent to be superior in almost every way.

There's only one feature which I find very useful that is both present in µtorrent and Deluge that isn't in qbit.

Already answered.

that isn't in qbit.

Because it is if you look.

@chrishirst we don't have that feature. He mean this: If you have 3 different torrent files qBittorrent opens 3 different Add torrent dialogs, one per torrent. In other clients you only see 1 dialog with the info of the 3 torrents combined instead of 3 dialogs.

@Kobrakaj you can keep this issue open but will be really hard to implement and I think it's not a big problem. Do not expect that this will be implemented soon.

@ngosang Alright, I hope you implement it eventually, I don't have a lot time so I usually download in bulk and that's when I find this feature useful.

When you have many Add torrent dialogs, If you let pressed the Enter key you will Accept all dialogs. :P

Or you can just disable Tools->Options->Downloads->When Adding a torrent->display torrent content and some options

Why do you need this feature? Just to bulk accept all the torrents?

@sledgehammer999 I get a good overview of the torrents and I can uncheck unwanted content of multiple torrents with ease, I can absolutely live without this feature, I just found it to be very convenient.

Yep, I missed the implication of "multiple torrents"

Though I can envisage that being more annoying than useful under most circumstances.

This could be handy when switching from another client. I've got hundreds of finished torrents I need to import, and they're saved in different locations based on their tracker. Importing them one by one would take me ages. I ended up disabling the new torrent prompt and importing them in batches, while changing the default location between each batch. It worked nicely.

I tried Deluge before that, and here's what I found: although there is a common window when importing multiple torrents, it does not allow to change setting for multiple torrents at once. You still need to select each torrent ant set the location and whatever option you want. So there's no real benefit over qBittorrent here.

has this been implemented?

When I click several magnet links in succession, qbittorrent will open one dialog box for each link. Can't it just append to the first dialog box?
