Transmission Config Dump

Anyone know what transmission-daemon -d is actually reading?

I ask because I've proven it isn't the actual config settings transmission is using. So I am wondering what the heck that's even reading.

When I run transmission-daemon -d on my system it says my umask is 18 and my download-dir": is "/root/Downloads". Yet all my torrents are in /torrent/ and my umask is set to 0 and everything is working fine. I'm just trying to figure out which settings file I'm actually using. Is there a command that will tell me which config file it picked up as the session started? My config file says, "ExecStart=/usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-error --config-dir=/home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon --logfile /var/log/transmission.log" but how to I prove it's being used? I am sure I am not using the one you see when using transmission-daemon -d. So is there anyway to tell which config file it's actually using?

I've spent the last four days trying to get that screen to read correctly with no luck. Yet all these settings files have my actual settings, but transmission-daemon -d never changes??? No matter what I do or what changes I make, transmission-daemon -d stays the same...

/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json~
/home/debian-transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/video/settings.json

I deleted all the settings files except this one, /home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json and no new one was added so it must be the one I'm using. I just wonder why that transmission-daemon -d doesn't work for me because it isn't reflecting my actual settings file. Perhaps it's reflecting the default settings? I don't know???

@Soapm did you ever get this resolve? I'm running into the same behavior on a fresh install of Bookworm on an RPi 4.0. The -d flag seems to always print out the defaults, which it also seems to be reading.

If it helps, Shift has an option to copy the settings to clipboard in JSON-format.
