Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Hi,

I have lots of movies and folders and because of it I do not use Mapped Categories.
I use Default Category.
What I currently do is:
Settings->Download Clients->qBittorrent->changing default category->save .

I was wondering if a pop up window when there is no mapped category could appear and save me all these steps.
Something like this:

Default Category [insert here the default category]
[OK]

I don't know how many will be bother by this pop up so an option to disable it in the download clients
for the people who will not like this option can be added.

For example when you go to Settings->Download Clients->qBittorrent below the Default Category an option like this:

[v] Default Category pop up window

I am hoping you will like my feature request.

Thank you

No plans to prompt for the download client's category on prowlarr grab.

No plans to prompt to set a default category if client's category is blank on grab.
