What is the problem?

Here's another bug @Piccirello
With the new torrent add experience and the pain when adding more than one torrent (with a different path than default). When you try adding a path the auto selection/path discovery does not show up. It only works on the last torrent add window.

On the side note can we get the old UI back or something when your adding more than one? The new experience is nice and all but when you only add one. When adding more than one it becomes a huge pain. I have to update the default save path so when I add multiple torrents I can just spam the save button.

I can think of one way. Make all location fields the same object, where changing one location it applies to all current open windows. This would resolve both problems.

Steps to reproduce

add more than one torrent.
on the current visible window auto selection/path discovery does not show up.
close all windows but the last and it shows up and works.

Additional context

No response

I'm not able to reproduce this on f16797f1cd. I opened two Add Torrent dialogs and the path autofill works in both of them simultaneously, even as I switch back and forth between windows.

As a workaround, you can set the Torrent Management Mode to automatic and then change the save path by selecting a category.
