Torrents auto-downloaded by RSS rules not obeying "Excluded file names" in Preferences

[wind77]

qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorrent v5.0.0 (64-bit)
Qt: 6.7.3
Libtorrent: 1.2.19.0
Boost: 1.86.0
OpenSSL: 3.1.7
zlib: 1.3.1

What is the problem?

This is my Preferences on Excluded file names.

The settings work fine on manually added torrents.

But since v5.0, I noticed that in torrents auto-downloaded by RSS rules, the Preferences were no longer obeyed:

Steps to reproduce

Additional context

I'm having the same issue with Magnet added torrents - the exclude parameters are not working

I can't confirm it either. I just checked - it works correctly for me.

You may be specified incorrect patterns...

You may be specified incorrect patterns...

In my 1st post, I already specified the patterns I used, and screenshot the outcome to prove that it doesn't work on RSS articles.

But, apparently, you are always in a state of denial.

A bug was reported, and you denied it.

Cannot confirm.

@ophelpsWU confirmed the bug, and you denied it as well.

I can't confirm it either. I just checked - it works correctly for me.

Similarly, in #21484 (comment),
I reported another issue, and you brushed off the issue:

The behavior has been like this for quite some time.
At least it's the same in previous branch.

When @thalieht confirmed the issue, you started to fume toxic:

This is a useless conversation

Is such toxicity in this Github, getting common, or getting tolerated because you're one of the developer?

[glassez]

This is a useless conversation

Why try to accuse me of toxicity by speculating with a phrase taken out of context?
There is no toxicity. Only brief answers "to the point".
I generally try not to show emotion, at least until the other person intends to conduct the conversation in such a disrespectful tone.

In my 1st post, I already specified the patterns I used, and screenshot the outcome to prove that it doesn't work on RSS articles.

This does not mean that the problem is in the RSS. As I said, the problem may be in the pattern itself, which does not match some file name.

A bug was reported, and you denied it.

Cannot confirm.

I didn't deny it.
I took my time and tested it out. And my test couldn't confirm the problem in general, which I reported.

@ophelpsWU confirmed the bug, and you denied it as well.

I can't confirm it either. I just checked - it works correctly for me.

One more time. I tested it out. It applies the exclude patterns to both torrent files and magnet links, both added manually and automatically by RSS downloader.
Therefore, I made the following conclusion:

You may be specified incorrect patterns...

But if you intend to accuse me of toxicity, etc., then I would prefer not to participate in these discussions anymore. Maybe someone more "polite" will help you.

I confirm this happens with v5.0.0, with both torrents initiated from RSS feeds or search results.

The filter list below worked before this update. Now, these files are being downloaded as well:

*.exe
*.nfo
*.txt
*.jpg
*.jpeg
*.png
*.gif
*.scr

Confirming the same issue.

Before v5.0.0 qBittorrent just didn't create the files that I can now see - the highlighted 3. Now I have to delete them manually whenever a download is complete.

[glassez]

@freitasm, @TomasDvorsky
How does these files look in qBittorrent? Are they checked or unchecked?

[TomasDvorsky]

It looks like they are unchecked.

[freitasm]

Mine appear checked.

[glassez]

It looks like they are unchecked.

So you are under another (well known) regression of v5.0. It already has a fix that will be included in v5.0.1. You can disable applying "mark-of-the-web" in advanced settings until then.

[Matth7878]

Same here.
Triggering manually from RSS don't check files excluded but when it's triggered from an rss auto download rule it is.

[glassez]

Can someone provide a real example for investigation, i.e. real RSS feed, real rule and real list of excluded file names?

Using Magnet links. This has happened on every download that has an .nfo file since the upgrade to 5.0.

Setting carried over from previous version of Qbit.

Display showing that the .nfo file is unchecked and noted as Not Downloaded

The .nfo file was actually downloaded.

See #21508 (comment).

I was asking for an example from those people who keep claiming that "when it's triggered from an rss auto download rule" files are still checked.

You were asking what I have provided in the 1st post?

No.
I was asking for some particular example that I can investigate, i.e. real RSS feed URL, real auto downloading rule definition and real excluded file names that cause this problem for one of affected people. As I said above, I was unable to reproduce this problem using arbitrary input data.

[wind77]

real auto downloading rule definition and real excluded file names that cause this problem

i screenshot the rules and the file names, for reference.

arbitrary input data.

i dunno why my screenshots were called "arbitrary".
Exactly what I need to provide, to help u to reproduce the outcome?

[glassez]

arbitrary input data.

i dunno why my screenshots were called "arbitrary".

Were they?
I just took an arbitrary RSS feed, and created an arbitrary rule that would be guaranteed to work on this RSS feed, and I added an arbitrary list of excluded filenames based on those files that occur in the torrents matched by this rule. And it worked as expected, i.e. torrents were added and matching files were excluded.

So now I want to test exactly your RSS feed, your rule and your exclusion list.

Can confirm - files selected for exclusion are being downloaded when they should not.
It's almost like the preference settings are delayed and as they're small files they download before the app can ignore them.

Was working on V4*
Noticed since V5

Perhaps it's something with legacy settings where they didn't convert over to V5 config quite right?
(just an idea)

The same question that was asked earlier in this thread. What do the files that should be excluded look like in torrent content view, as excluded (i.e. unchecked and having "Do not download" priority) or as having the "Normal" download priority?

[wind77]

Downgrade to earlier version solved the issue.
Save all the time and nonsense.
Case closed.

[glassez]

Anyone who has the problem with excluded files, and it really is not the one mentioned in this comment, please open a new Issue (apparently, the author of this thread does not intend to continue a constructive dialogue and provide the necessary feedback).
