Suggestion

Could you please add the facility to drag and drop torrent files onto the user interface ... this would simplify the addition of multiple torrents no end.

Isn't it already allowed? I use it from time to time.

It's already allowed (at least on Windows), I use it everyday. You give no info on the OS and version of qBt you use?

qBittorrent v4.4.5, Windows 10 Enterprise, drag torrent files from file explorer to open QBT, just get the no entry cursor ...

I once got a problem with a drag and drop thing and it was because the program process was started on a different user than my Windows explorer process.

First thing to try, can you drag and drop one of the torrent file you try to drag on qBt to an open Notepad, for example? It should display torrent content.

Hi

Latest version downloaded 14th September, qBittorrent v4.4.5 and Windows 10 Enterprise with latest updates etc.

Multiple screens, file explorer open on one, QBittorent open on another. Select either one, or multiple torrent files, drag over to Qbt. Can't drop anywhere just the red circular cursor with a line through it ...

Cheers

J

Multiple screens

@JamesBarnaby1 Can you reproduce this with 4.5.3 Qt5 based build? & can you also test/reproduce with 4.5.3 Qt6 based build?

Perhaps if you hadn't taken months to reply in the first place. Not great advertising for your product!

Well you opened a "feature request" for something that was already available in qBittorrent....the "multiple screens" snippet of info would've indicated a Qt issue.....this little bit of information may have been overlooked but initially this ticket should've been opened as an issue & all relevant info provided.
