(I'd like to be able to remove only the one it added)

It will remove all torrents. (currently it does not keep track of torrentfiles it added)

might be worth putting that in the readme for future users yep, albeit i think scanning the dir for present torrentfiles on startup would be even better.

sounds like a great idea! and your pseudo code makes sense.

but... making this work in useful way is, i think, quite hard. it's not the sorting ...

well i think you stumbled upon a current limitation of my implementation : torrentfiles have to be put into the watched directory AFTER transmission-dw has been started (basically while it's running). it will not yet recognize any files already present in the directory. oh, and the torrentfiles must ...

running it is quite simple actually. just run it without any option like this : /path/to/transmission-daemon-watcher/transmission-dw and it will show you a help text with all the options... basically you'd have to run it like : /path/to/transmission-daemon-watcher/transmission-dw watch and just ...

I take it that stopping/moving completed torrents is not dependent on inotify, but rather is polling transmission-daemon for status?
not quite: yes to stop/move stuff polling transmission-daemon is necessary. but to keep things simple (and to get results fast) it just uses transmission-remote. i ...

well i'm not that experienced in programming... otherwise i should have seen this :-)

a short poking around reveals that indeed ctypes won't work. the most recent info on the matter i found is here : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2008-July/498073.html . Reading other sources show ...

well due the fact that obviously people aren't interested in this tool (and the features it adds to transmission) i have indefinitely posponed (until at least a few people ask for it) any support/features for anything else that i need. This means it runs only on Linux with Kernels that support ...

sadly YES... i know that OS X 10.5 has introduced a similar feature (fsenvents?!) but unless someone points me to a python module providing the necessary bindings it's a no-go for OS X...

[edit] ok a short google reveals said module : PyObjC :) if there is demand for this to work on OS X i'll have ...

hi everyone

i have written a little daemon for all those running transmission-daemon on a linux (especially ubuntu 8.04) box.

as you all know transmission-daemon has yet to become as powerful as transmission-cli and the GUIs... so i was missing some features so badly i wrote a python daemon that ...
