Auto adding .torrent (watch folder) on OSX doesn't work

[theerror]

Related do #1070

I'm not sure if it's configuration or bug issue. MacOS is still new for me from point of this "advanced configuration" stuff with defaults tool. I do have version TRG 5.15.4 (16fe466).

My steps to set up:

1. Set conf. values (hope, this is correct way to do that)

UknownPC:~ panelacek$ defaults write com.transgui WatchLocalFolder ~/Downloads
UknownPC:~ panelacek$ defaults write com.transgui WatchInterval 2
UknownPC:~ panelacek$ defaults read com.transgui
{
    "NSNavLastRootDirectory:ChooseFolder:0" = "/Volumes/downloads";
    "NSNavLastRootDirectory:GetFile:0" = "~/Downloads";
    "NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForOpenMode:ChooseFolder:0" = "{712, 448}";
    "NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForOpenMode:GetFile:0" = "{712, 448}";
    WatchInterval = 1;
    WatchLocalFolder = "/Users/panelacek/Downloads";
}

2. place .torrent file to ~/Downloads

UknownPC:~ panelacek$ ls ~/Downloads/*.torrent
/Users/panelacek/Downloads/whatever.torrent

3. Start Transmission Remote GUI

The torrent file is still on place and it's not added to download queue.

I dont have any macOSX machine or any mac experience but I think what transgui.ini would be in:

/Users/panelacek/.config/Transmission Remote GUI/transgui.ini

edit that file with the values you want.
Close any instance of TransGUI running before the edit.

@antekgla You are totally right. Which section it belongs to? In Interface it won't work. Is there any option of logs, co I can see, it's checking?

[Interface]
[MainForm]
[Shortcuts]
[Hosts]
[Connection.xxxxxx]
[Translation]
[AddTorrent.xxxxxx]
[TorrentsList]
[FilesList]
[PeerList]
[TrackersList]
[PeersList]
[NetWork]
[StatusBarPanels]

[antekgla]

The value would be added in the Interface section...
See #1070
I dont know why dont work in macOSX.
That is why I want testers in OSX and Linux.
Try to add the WatchLocalFolder like
/Users/panelacek/Downloads
and not like
~/Downloads

I read several post of problems in OSX and a lot of that problems are permission related. Check if TransGUI have the right permissions to write in /Users/panelacek/Downloads If that folder are not writable for TransGUI this feature is disabled.

...maybe some user with OSX experience would help in this...

OK, it's strange. Today I startup log console and TransGUI to see some problems and voila - torrent added.

The ~ was the first what comes to my mind to get off, when it didn't work. Actually - the problem could be related to some strange behaviour of Finder, because in same time it refused to connect to any SMB share. I tried it now first time after reboot and it worked like a charm.

Anyway, good, that it's working now fine. Thank you for that feature! If you implement it somewhere in UI it would awesome! :)

End, when you would need to test something on OSX ping me and I will do my best. It's even possible for Unix (Ubuntu) however I'm not using it so often.
