Download to: Always ask me

Post by senortinto »

Hi.
I download my files to different folders depending on content..
I'm still using Transmission 1.06 because the changes made to the open dialouge...

In recent versions, the Always ask me option is gone:

Instead I have to activate Display options window and click Change whenever a torrent is loaded.

Please put back the Always ask me option!
It is so tedious to download files this way..

Thanks

It's an extra 2 clicks, vs adding another option that few would use and overlaps with the torrent add window. It's not going to happen.

Why not just set your browser to "Always ask" you where to download the .torrent file, then place the file where you want the downloaded file to finally reside? That way your .torrent file is always with the content and is easy to locate when you move, trash or archive the file.

Guess you have to switch to Firefox - I can't find the option in Safari - but you just might find Firefox preferable to Safari anyway. (I use both, but if I had to pick only one I'd probably pick Firefox.)

Or use the new Smart Groups feature, and let the directory be chosen automagically :) http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... f=5&t=6622
