Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System:

3.3.13 on Windows 10

What is the problem:

New command line arguments for adding torrents are not recognized.

What is the expected behavior:

--save-path is a supported argument

Steps to reproduce:

qbittorrent.exe --save-path="d:\foo" bar.torrent
Receive dialog stating:

--save-path=d:\foo is an unknown command line parameter.
Run application with -h option to read about command line parameters.

Running qbittorrent.exe -h does not list any of the new command line arguments.

Extra info(if any):

The reason I was trying to use --save-path is that I read @briankendall's PR #5532 and realized it was included in release 3.3.13 https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/compare/release-3.3.13...master

Perhaps it's not enabled yet?

It doesn't look like PR #5532 was included in 3.3.13. I think that's what release-3.3.13...master is showing? In any case, I don't see any of the new command line options mentioned when I execute qbittorrent --help.

@briankendall Thanks for double-checking. I misread the releases page; the compare link above was from there, but the exact wording is "1420 commits to master since this tag". So your efforts will be in the next release. I'll close this now, and thanks for new options, I'm really excited to start automating more workflows with them!
