Create subfolder option when adding torrent

[danielfrankcom]

Currently, when multi-file torrents are added, a folder is created which contains the files (i.e. /destination/my-torrent/*.txt). When single-file torrents are added, the file is put directly into the directory specified as the "Destination" when adding the torrent (i.e. /destination/my-torrent.txt).

This creates a troublesome workflow for some tools like Sonarr and Radarr when performing a manual import of files, as they attempt to match the files in the entire directory before allowing the import of the single file which has been downloaded. With a large library of seeding content, this results is a complete lock-up of the tool that you're trying to use to import the downloaded torrent.

The workarounds for this problem are the following:

• Manually specify a sub folder when adding the single-file torrent.
  • This is slow to do, and not very user friendly. It also doesn't work when adding more than 1 torrent file at once.
• Manually move the file to a sub folder when it is finished.
  • This has similar drawbacks to the above.
• Move the file automatically to a sub folder when it is finished.
  • Requires configuration of the underlying torrent software, which is often non-trivial and is not presented in the same manner as other Flood configuration.

A mock-up:

Truthfully I'm not sure what the existing "Use as Base Path" option does, but I think it might be the opposite of this? My understanding is that it will put the files into the specified directory and not create a sub folder. If this is the case, then perhaps instead of a checkbox for that option, it could be a small drop down to specify "Use as Base Path", "Create Folder for Multiple Files" (current behavior), and "Always Create Folder" or something along those lines.

From a UI perspective I'm not sure what would make the most sense, but I would really love to be able to do this because I have to do a lot of manual work at the moment to import single-file torrents into Sonarr/Radarr. I'm using rtorrent as the back end, and I've spent a significant amount of time trying to configure the automatic copying myself with no luck.
