Support Running Scripts on each episode retrieved:

[balthisar]

• Updated to current Xcode.

• Updated to current Swift.

• Added GUI for running a script after each torrent is downloaded. This includes adding descriptive
  text fields for all of the options for clarity.

• The Recents window will now run the same script, if enabled, instead of opening the file with'
  the browser. If no script is defined, then previous behavior remains unaffected.

• Added a test_script which can be used for Transmission, for example.

• Catch will now execute a script after downloading episodes. To enable this, select
  "Run Script" in Preferences, and select a suitable script from the popup menu. This
  script will be executed independently of the "Open Automatically" Preference.

  • If the downloaded episode is a torrent file, then the script will be called with the path of
    the file as the argument. Since you're probably getting magnet links, this won't be useful.

  • If the downloaded episode is a magnet link, Catch will continue to save the stupid webloc files
    to your selected folder, but the script will be called with the magnet URL. You can then use
    this in your script as an RPC to Transmission, or any other flexible purpose.

Not sure how to proceed here. I was working on the app as well, implementing multi-feed support. I've also added the ability to run a script to download non-torrent feed content, and was planning to add transmission_rpc as an option for torrents.

I guess the question is, does it make sense to have a script to handle torrent downloads? If we added support for transmission_rpc (and possibly other similar remote stuff), would that cover every use case?

[balthisar]

Handling transmision_rpc would handle every use case for Transmission users, assuming you make no assumptions about localhost; my particular use case is the torrent client on another machine on the network. Running on a NAS is probably not a niche situation.

[mipstian]

Right, so it's either a torrent client running on this machine, or a torrent client being invoked via some kind of network call on another machine. Do we agree there's no third thing?

[balthisar]

Seems correct.

Ok then I’ll close this. Too bad, the code was pretty well written! Would you like to add the rpc stuff once I push my branch?

[balthisar]

Maybe... I'm pretty overcommitted right now, but if we're all forced into quarantine, then maybe.
