Change Category on completion

Post by jmaynard »

I'm looking for a script that will change the Group (category) of a torrent when it has completed downloading.
Any help/guidance appreciated.

To be a bit more specific:
I'm OK writing AppleScript but not too familiar with Transmission; I would like to know the relevant entries to address a completed torrent and then to address that torrent's Group.
thanks

I figured out how to change the Group of a highlighted Torrent in AppleScript:

click menu item "Done" of menu 1 of menu item "Group" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Transfers" of menu bar 1

just need to know how to select the completed Torrent (out will that be highlighted when the script is called?)
thanks

UPDATE
the completed Torrent is NOT highlighted when the completed message is displayed - so my script is not yet complete. I need to know how to reference a completed torrent in appleScript please...

The app is not launched when a torrent completes.
Does this mean that Transmissionbt does not work with AppleScript?
