Label

[yf4Yeh4ZLt89lT]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Is it possible to add labels or tags to the torrents ?
I'am really missing the feature of utorrent where it was very easy (right mouse click) to add a tag to a torrent and to filter the view to display only the torrents with this tag.

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe create the list of tags in the rtorrent config file and tag the torrents in the main view with a specific shortcut ?
Maybe also create a filter view in the rtorrent config file that would display only the associated tag ?

Additional context

I now this feature does exist with ruttorent but I prefer to keep my torrent box as simple as possible.

This can be done using watch folders or via many of the autoadders, like autobrr etc.

I'm guessing you want to do this manually?

If not, I would use watch folders to do it when adding torrents, like in this linked post:
https://www.krank.se/2014/06/25/rtorrent-magic-moving-finished-torrents-based-on-labels/
The post explains how to setup rtorrent.rc to add labels when adding from the specified watch folders.

It all comes down to how you utilize rtorrent, how you add torrents more specifically. Personally I use a mix of watch folders(setup via ruTorrent, and accessed by ftp) and autobrr.

Thank you for your reply.
Your link shows a solution that may answer to my needs.
But I have a question...

My current torrent box has more than one hundred of torrent files already loaded and active.
How can I tag them ?
Do I need to delete them (and loose the information about the share ratio) and reload them with the new settings ?

The easiest way is to install pyrosimple and add the label to them like this
rtcontrol realpath=/path/to/data --custom 1=labelname -n --yes. Test first, then remove '-n' to actually add the labels.
