Select server from 'add torrent' dialog? #1403

Open hyacin75 opened 2 years ago

Whelp, been a month, clearly the discussions section is not actually used, so, I guess we move it to "Issues"

Discussed in https://github.com/transmission-remote-gui/transgui/discussions/1399

Originally posted by **hyacin75** December 1, 2021 Toss up between "Q&A" and "Idea" as I'm not sure if it exists or not. It's a "Discussion" item for sure though, not an "Issue", so I'm glad to see this 'Discussions' section enabled. I've got magnet links and .torrent files associated with transgui on Windows, so when I open a .torrent file I get an "Add new torrent" dialog as expected - but I've just started running 2x transmission instances - one VPNed and one not, and I'm noticing for the first time there is no way to select what server you want to download a new torrent with, at least not that I can see. So it seems like I need to open transgui first, switch to the server I want, _then_ click on the .torrent link, which is obviously less than ideal. Am I doing something wrong or not seeing something? Or is this in fact lacking, in which case, could it be considered for addition? Something along the lines of "if there is more than one server configured, let them select which one they want to add this to"? Edit: I screwed around with it for a few hours tonight and the best I could do was move some of the existing objects in the "Add torrent" dialog a bit, and get it to build and run without crashing - but I couldn't make a connections drop-down appear in that dialog in the space I'd created 😞

There is little or no active development, until someone with good will decides to fork and put some serious effort in, things may not change.

Happy 2022.
