Watch for new .magnet files and add them immediately

[eskinderg]

Hoping to implement a new feature that watches for new .magnet files and add them to the download list.

I have tried implementing it myself by modifying folder-watch.js and changing the glob to /**/*.magnet and it works. The problem is that after adding the magnet, it is not able to continue download and instead gets stuck at 0% and i had to restart the app for it to resume the download.

my changes are as follows regarding watching for .magnet files and adding them to the download list.

folder-watch.js

const fs = require('fs')
const glob = `${torrentsFolderPath}/**/*.magnet`

    this.watcher
      .on('add', (path) => {
        log('Folder Watcher: added torrent: ', path)

        fs.readFile(path, 'utf8' , (err, data) => { 
          if (err) {
            console.error(err)
            return
          }
          this.window.dispatch('addTorrent', data)
        })
      })

Any idea how to implement this at least for my self. Thanks

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
