Groups - filtering by file extension

Post by thiswave »

Hi all,

How do I auto allocate a group based on a file extension within the torrent? I'm trying to get Transmission to allocate the green group to any albums I'm downloading. Is it possible to have a group allocated when it see's a .mp3 file? which criteria do I use for this??

Thanks, and sorry if this is incredibly obvious.

Here is how I auto-allocate my torrents to a group.

Preferences > Groups : select your group (for example "Music")
Check Assign group to new transfers based on criteria
Click Edit…
Choose Any of the following are true
  • Any file, ends with, mp3
  • Any file, ends with, m4a
Keep adding lines for all audio extensions, I also have flac, aif, aiff, wav, ape, wavpack, wma

Auto-allocation happens when adding the torrent, any torrent already active will need to be manually assigned.
