I miss the old days where that dialog never popped up when I added a new torrent. I hardly ever use it and it means I have to click OK quite a lot. An option to always add torrents without any dialogs would be great.

I know there's probably a couple workarounds if a person wants something like this functionality, but neither works all that great. There's an option to silently add multiple torrents which I've always had enabled but has never actually done anything that I can tell. If I click multiple torrents in my web browser I just end up with multiple dialogs that I have to click ok on within ktorrent.
Also I know there's that watch directory where it would add .torrent files from. But I don't want a bunch of .torrent files filling up the download directory my browser uses; nor do I see a simple way to get browsers to download specific filetypes to specific directories, which would be the best workaround to the flaws in that workaround.

So does this option sound like a good idea?

File -> Open Silently

I see that, but I'm talking about when I click a torrent link within my browser. It's set to use ktorrent as the application to run when clicking the link. Ktorrent then asks me where I want the data to be saved to, despite the application already knowing the default save location that I want it to go to. Since I'm usually clicking several torrent links at once this means that every time I click a link I have a ktorrent dialog pop up, so I have to keep switching from the browser to the client, clicking a link, clicking OK, back and forth. Since the save location is already set in preferences though I don't see the point of these dialogs being popped up, and it strikes me as a usability issue. A minor inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless. In fact it's been so minor I never brought it up before even though I've always felt this way.

As far as going File>Open silently that would actually result in even more mouseclicks that I already have to do to get the torrent running when clicking on a torrent link from a web page, because it would entail right clicking the torrent file, selecting save as, selecting a location, navigating to that location from ktorrent and clicking ok. Not that there's anything wrong with that but as a person who uses a lot of torrents I just prefer as streamlined a process of adding multiple torrents as possible.

There is also a commandline parameter:

ktorrent --silent /path/to/torrent/file.torrent

So if you can change the parameters your browser passes to ktorrent, you can use that for now.

I don't have problem adding an option like this, but that will only show up in 4.1.

EDIT: just added it

Cool. Thanks George, for the information and the option. I really appreciate you taking the time to add that in, and am looking forward to using it in 4.1
