Is it possible to relocate individual files in a torrent out of the torrent folder?

@mschumacher69 you have to be more specific and follow the issue template where applicable. Read https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

As it stands, I don't know if this is a support question, a feature request or what. And what does it mean to "relocate individual files in a torrent out of the torrent folder" anyway? You can already move a torrent's files after it's finished, you can manually move the files to a new location using "Set location...", etc. What do you mean with "torrent folder" in this context? Is it the Download folder where your torrents are going or is it the root folder in a multi-file torrent?

@FranciscoPombal what I mean by "torrent folder" is the root folder of a multi-file torrent.

Basically, what I'm looking for is a way to right click a file in a multi-file torrent and select "relocate" to be able to relocate this file to another location while still seeding. This option is available in uTorrent and it allows you to relocate individual files without having to maintain the torrent's (root) folder structure while still maintaining seed capability. So you can basically relocate any file anywhere you want while still seeding.

Here's a screenshot of the feature in uTorrent:

@mschumacher69 Understood. Currently, this is not possible to do in qBittorrent. Perhaps some day it will be implemented.
