Feature Request: Source another rtorrent.rc file

[parnmatt]

I would like the ability to have my general settings in $HOME/.rtorrent.rc, but also have the ability to source another rc file.

For example, having source ~/.rtorrent.rc.current_network within the usual file, which contains download and upload speeds, and max peers, etc., for the current network I am connected to; that I manually provide.

This feature is already implemented by using import or try_import, you can use it like import = somefile .
You can also take a look how pyroscope did it (I've modded a little bit) in rtorrent-ps config: https://github.com/chros73/rtorrent-ps/blob/master/ubuntu-14.04/home/chros73/.rtorrent.rc#L4

this can also be done from the command line, with
rtorrent -o import=/some/path/rtorrent.rc -o import=/some/other/path/.rtorrent.conf
it can also be combined with the -n switch which tells rTorrent to ignore the default configuration file at ~/.rtorrent.rc
rtorrent -n -o import=/some/path/rtorrent.rc -o import=/some/other/path/.rtorrent.conf
