Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

When I download anime, I don't want it to go in the default download directory and I can't change the default directory because Sonarr and Radarr depend on it. Sonarr and Radarr support for anime is slim, so I manage my anime shows outside of the root folder for tv shows and movies and because I want to keep them seperate. So I would like to download my anime shows straight to the anime folder. Sonarr and Radarr move the shows and movies to the respective root folders.

This is the folder structure:

downloads (default download qBittorrent directory)
video
- anime (desired custom download directory)
- tv
- movies

Describe the solution you'd like

Transmission supports this behaviour but is not as capable as qBittorrent. qBittorrent handles categories differently than Transmission, it doesn't add a subdirectory, so I can't just use anime as the category with the default folder.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have described some alternatives in the problem description.

Anything else?

Just exactly what the advanced option Directory for Transmission does but for qBittorrent.

Are categories in qBittorrent linked to directories? for instance a directory tv for category tv in the video folder. Because it doesn't work like this for me.

You configure the location of the category in qbit.

See TRaSH's guides for how to configure qbit.

Don't think there's any plans to specially allow setting a manual save path for every download....and per download category selection is probably the best it'll get.

sorry, I'll have a look a that. I really thought I did my homework before bothering you 😆. Thank you for taking the time to reply (and super fast!)
