If you're still around to see this, this is great! Thanks! I was just trying to do the same thing but somehow sent my torrent file into the ether. I didn't have the repeat addedFile in added_items in mine, so I have no idea where it landed. 🤣

Question: in your display dialog, what does name of i mean? That's the only part I'm guessing on. I'm assuming it takes the file name of any error'd file and displays it, but what is the exact meaning? Is it "name of input"? Google search didn't help me here. Thanks!

Ah, that is probably a bug. I think I gisted this in a hurry to show someone in IRC or something. I don't use directory watch anymore, I just use curl and my torrent client equivalent like this: https://gist.github.com/g-r-a-v-e-l-y/35a91ca9948700b00b6a043cfcbaeb3d

Oh cool. Thanks for sharing that! I’m going to dig in on that later. I’m still learning scripting, but have managed to make some pretty cool automations. Thanks for sharing this!
