This was SUCH a great effort. MUCH MUCH appreciation to the coder. I've been using 4.2.5 since forever.

It launched wonderfully and I unchecked a few files in existing torrents and it created .unwanted as expected, I could still run and rename the files in .unwanted. I moved the download location several times and the .unwanted folder behaved correctly. I started several NEW torrents and the behavior with DO NOT DOWNLOAD and .unwanted was exactly as expected. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I can't say I can interpret the PR very so I'm gonna ask: Was configuration to disable/enable this implemented, or is it still to come?

Well, it be deployed as opt-in (off by default)?

@sjlebl hey, did you directly update from 4.2.5 to (which version? Current now?)? Any problems?

Hi @glassez could you kindly refresh how the options work now?
After installing 4.6.2, I saw layout options - Original, Create Subfolder and Don't create subfolder.

I assume Original is same as Create subfolder? Or are they different?

Either way, neither of these two settings did anything on downloading and completed torrents when I unchecked/checked a file.

Or has this meant to come in for 5.0?

Totally irrelevant options. (Don't) create sub folder is to make sure all files in the torrent are put/taken out of the torrent's root folder (some torrents have only just one file dumped in the save location). Original is don't touch the torrent's root folder (or lack of).

Or has this meant to come in for 5.0?

Yes.

@thalieht thanks for the clarification. If I may, I noticed that when I installed 4.6.2, a lot of old magnet links lost their titles in the downloads list and ended up with the gibberish numbers that are part of the magnet link; but when I reverted to 4.2.5, they returned. So I guess something is not being read in the newer versions because the data seems to be there when downgrading. If you have any thoughts on that please let me know; perhaps it's a bug that can be fixed for future builds or something can be done on my end, although I wouldn't know what to do about such old magnet link entries, they were probably part of some temporary files that got deleted ages ago and I'd hate to lose so many like that.

I don't know. IIRC some info were moved from the .torrent file to the .fastresume file or the other way around since then... can't remember. Maybe if you would share such a .torrent+.fastresume pair someone who knows more could tell you what's up (not here, it will probably be forgotten).
