Launch External Program

[bjd223]

Hello,

Does anyone know if qBittorrent has changed how it handles launching external apps after a torrent completes.

On my system my script is running, as I have a powershell script that has a custom tray icon, however the actual powershell window is not being shown.

Does qbittorrent hide external script windows now, or is something else going on with my machine?

it runs cmd /c <your commandline>

the /c flag likely prevents your powershell script showing.

Well unfortunately I have an interactive shell script, so it not showing is an issue. Hopefully they put in a toggle to restore the old behavior. Unfortunately back yo uTorrent 2.2.1.

Wrap it in a cmd that opens your script?

I think it's powershell security. In Dec there was an upgrade.
First off, I use uTorrent but thinking about using qBittorent.
My psi stopped working in Dec. I changed the -executionpolicy to 'bypass' and the psi started working again.  I was using 'remotesigned' What I use is:

      powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle hidden "& 'C:\Users\XXXX\utorrent.ps1' -FileName '%F' -FileDir '%D' -FileTitle '%N' -Kind '%K'"

Sorry if this doesn't work in qBittorrent.
