I've recently started using individual incomplete paths and it works as it should. But there's a need to easily move torrent between complete and incomplete paths by having an ability to forcedly set the completeness status. This is needed for two purposes:

  1. If I need to keep materials in complete folder, while doing some job with them and for some reason I might lose the completeness of material after rehash or after crash. Current strategy is unknown. Would the material go to the incomplete folder right away after rehash shows that it is incomplete? And if I modify selection of files - then what - previously complete torrent would automatically move to incomplete, finish downloading and move to complete again? This is not transparent. I understand that Complete status should be set once after finish of initial job and never set back to Incomplete automatically.
  2. If I need to move complete material to incomplete folder without use of manual relocation, because I need it to move to appropriate incomplete folder configured in category. This is needed when I want to download updated torrent. New torrent will be downloading to incomplete folder by default. And this helps keeping category clean, without outdated files that changed names, some added, some removed.

So in sum.
There's a need to have visible status in torrent info Complete/Incomplete to understand, how qbt currently sees its status.
There's a need to have a context menu option (right under Automatic Management or in download settings section) to switch torrent between Complete/Incomplete status.

Best recommendations - if you keep thousands of torrents, always download to incomplete and move finished torrents automatically with Torrent Management. And of course for better performance incomplete folder should be on the same drive. I'm absolute fan of ATM! qbt is miles ahead from all other clients!
