Originally created by @WeeBit28 on GitHub (May 15, 2022).

Suggestion

Add an option to make qBittorrent automatically highlight a certain Tag or Category upon launch.

This could be a drop down list of existing tags and Categories (Including All and Untagged) and having a switch/tickbox that would say "Set as default", or something similar.

Use case

For people that use tags or categories to sift through large torrent libraries, it's more practical to get to chose a default tag that is highlighted when you open qBittorrent.

For example, you rarely return to video files once you view them the first time, but you might periodically go back and listen to an audio file/music album you have in the torrent list.

Having the ability to set qBittorrent to automatically highlight torrents tagged as "music" on startup would save a couple of clicks and make things more convenient.

I would love as well to be able to select a tag or category for the program to open with it selected already on launch. Maybe it could be a Launch parameter.
