[Feature Request] Add torrent dialog for magnet links.

[testbughub]

It would be nice to be able to set a category/label before adding a magnet link.

Yes, please implement auto open advanced dialog on torrent adding / magnet link opening

I have compiled a version that does it

Nice! Would you mind forking this repo and commit the changes you did?
Maybe the dev could merge it, and I would also see the changes
so that I can compile a Linux version.

Just remove if from line

Electorrent/src/scripts/controllers/torrents.ts

Line 115 in 9aa66dd

$scope.$on('torrents:add', function(event, item: PendingTorrentUploadItem, askUploadOptions: boolean) {

it should look like this
$scope.$on('torrents:add', function(event, item: PendingTorrentUploadItem, askUploadOptions: boolean) { $scope.pendingTorrentFiles.push(item) $scope.$apply() })

Couldn't get this to work unfortunately. It just adds it still.
Not sure why though.

You can try this version https://github.com/journeym/Electorrent

It wasn't working correctly due to different handling of magnet and torrent links, i have pushed a commit that fixes that, at least fro me on windows, it's now working (wasnt working before) https://github.com/journeym/Electorrent

I just tried it, and it works great,
except for the name of the download which just says "Download location",
but that's such a minor thing that I can't complain about it.
And I had to copy the 'package-lock.json' file from the original Electorrent to get it to compile.
Thank you so much for putting down some time to fix this!
Hopefully we'll get an 'official' patch soon, but this works great for now 😄
Cheers!

In the list of torrents after torrent startup name is correct, in the advanced options dialog, i belive, it's not possible to retrieve name for magnet link before the actual download started. At least for me, the dialog looks the same as if i use file > Paste torrent url.
Please add a screenshot.

Yeah, it still works even though it doesn't show the torrent name. Imgur

I'm not sure how common it is, but in the magnet links I've seen,
the torrent name is in the URL.

Example;
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:dd8255ecdc7ca55fb0bbf81323d87062db1f6d1c&dn=Big+Buck+Bunny&tr=udp.......

And I also got an error when trying that magnet link (from https://webtorrent.io/free-torrents), but it still works. Imgur

This looks perfectly normal IMO, i have the same behavior in native client (qbittorrent web gui), when adding magnet links, practically no clients i encountered decode magnet links on the fly just to get torrent name.
Regarding the error this seems to be a variable type problem, i hadn't hit this when testing, seems my magnet links were shorter. Ill check it sometime, i think....

Don't worry about it. Like I said, it works, so no need to dive any deeper :)
Thanks again!
