Bug Description
When using a watch directory (i.e. automatic download directory) qBT will pause for user interaction if the option to present a dialogue on every download is set. This is inconvenient when torrents are placed in the watch directory by another program such as Ted (The Episode Downloader), and frequently means the torrent is not downloaded until the user notices the presence of the torrent file and manually opens it from within qBT.
This was reported as a bug in the inotify mechanism: https:/
Proposal: I think there needs to be a distinction between a) user calling qBT by clicking on a torrent link, say in a web page, and b) fully automatic downloading via the watch directory mechanism. There should be separate options in each case, or failing that the existing option dialogue should apply only to case (a) and not to case (b).

Thanks. I believe you are right. I'll fix this when I come back from vacation :)
