Torrents loaded via watch_directory lose "comment" info in 0.9.8 #1117

Open YouSeeMeToo opened 2 years ago

YouSeeMeToo commented 2 years ago

I'm running rtorrent on a remote seedbox, and I use a series of synced watch directories to allow me to select what label is applied to a torrent, and its start state when it's loaded.

Unfortunately, none of the torrents loaded via the watch dirs have the comment field preserved. The tracker I use lists the torrents URL in the comment field, and I often use this to look up information on a torrent, particularly if the name is ambiguous.

I can confirm this issue exists. @YouSeeMeToo Did this just start in 0.9.8? Or has it been preset in all versions of rTorrent?

Also, interestingly enough, if the torrent is added via ruTorrent the comment is preserved.

You may want to double check whatever tool/script/config you're doing the loading with. None of the built-in load.* commands interfere with the comment field.

Okay then this bug is with ruTorrent and not rTorrent. I'm going to create an issue report over there.
