Group not automatically assigned when added via web?

[DaSal]

So I have my groups set up per tracker, like any torrents from my favorite music tracker gets added to the Music group, and movies from my movie tracker to the Movies group, which all have different download folders. However it seems that when I add a torrent via the web interface it doesn't automatically apply these group settings? Am I missing something here or is this not possible?

I don't think the web interface supports groups. I have not tried.
I do notice that any files downloaded through the web interface are created with the same owner as the download folder (same as apache for instance).

The web interface doesn't support groups. As far as I can tell uploading from the web interface goes to libtransmission directly and not through the GUI, and that makes it unable to run the group predicates.

Since I am always using the web interface, I added some code to move the files to the correct group folder when the torrent is completed.
It works for me but it's not the preferred solution, if anyone is interested I can share it, it's only like 3 lines of code.

I would love to see it being added to the web interface though, but I am unsure how to do it since it's in C and the group rules are based on predicates.

I'd love to be able to assign and deal with groups in the web interface, however when it comes to your problem, I've set it up like this:

Instead of adding torrents thru the web interface, I've put a Torrents-folder in a Dropbox installation and I got Transmission picking them up from there automatically. That way, I can add torrents automatically and have the groups assigned based on the criteras set. Works flawlessly (as long as you've set up your criterias correctly, but that's up to you).
