General Support Q&A Windows Thread

Maybe a stupid question...

Settings->Downloads (on left)->and on top: When adding torrent..

I want to do this when opening already downloaded torrents.
Not when I add them.

QBT doesn't keep my selected files for download in the content window. On boot, all files are unselected. I have to parse through every time I boot, which just isn't sustainable when a torrent has 100's of files and I need about 50 that are all dispersed around.
Is there a way to fix this?

Can i rename torrent files without losing the ability to seed?
Also, sometimes torrent names are too long and don't fit in windows notification area. Any fix for that?

Windows 10, I just ugpraded from 4.2.1 I think to 4.3.3, the font looks different and I kinda don't like it, is there a way to change it back to how it was in the older version?

I mean, by default, you usually want ALL the files in a torrent, not ... half of them.
However, when you add something, you can simply use SHIFT+CLICK to select multiple (50-100-whatever) at once, and then right click, and then DO NOT DOWNLOAD for example. Its super fast to select or de-select like this.

I don't think you can change that, but I would check the Github Issue Tracker to see if there is anything related to this:

You can change the file path WITHIN qBittorrent and then it keeps seeding. Renaming out of a torrent program will always break things.
Changing the file's name is also impossible. (The .torrent file contains the torrent's name.)
