On completion Move to different directory and re-check

Basically my idea is to enable such convenient and practical usability
- tag torrent destination directory (category directory) to be moved to after completion
- move torrent to that directory and then re-check hash
I was trying to sort it by myself but dont know howto force hash-check from command line with qbittorrent-nox.
Any clues ??

But why move and then re-check?
You can enable re-check in Advanced Settings, but I don't see the point of performing it on other drives. Let's say you move it to a NAS, then recheck might take half a day. Read operations don't age SSD drives for example.

If you assume your drives periodically write a bad bit and you are moving between volumes so the files are actually rewritten, checking before moving would miss any corruption caused by the move whereas if you check after moving you'll catch corruption introduced in the initial download or in the move.
Also if the content is written to a NAS or something it might be accessible from a media player immediately rather than having to wait for a check to run.
(I don't recheck everything, but if I did, I'd want to do so as close to the final location as possible).
