Why are categories basically useless in qbittorrent? (lemmy.ca)

I've only got a couple of categories, one for sonarr, prowlarr (for some reason), and Games. They each have their save path set and thus I would expect any torrent added under the Games category would be saved in the path set for that category. But they're not, they're dumped in the default save path making that folder a hot mess. What's the deal? Why are categories so terrible?

Change "Default Torrent Management Mode" to automatic

what does this do?

It will move files to location you have set in category settings. If you are using sonarr it can automatically set tv-sonarr category and then qbittorrent will move it to your tv shows folder.

Qbittorrent will save downloads to the assigned category's folder instead of manually specifying the download location each time.
