What "Automatically matches data directory" does?

[auanasgheps]

• Transmssion version: 2.93
• Tr Web Control version: 1.5.1
• Problem description: Automatically matches data directory

Hello, I can't understand what Automatically matches data directory does. I understand the creator is not a native english speaker... but does not make any sense to me. I am re-working the Italian translation and I am trying to give a meaning to this feature.

Also can you confirm what this message means? It is shown on Replace Trackers screen:
"This function will find <b>all torrents</b> Tracker."
Does replace old tracker with the new tracker in every matching torrent and reannounce? That's the only sense I've found.
Thank you

I have not used this option yet, but it looks like a mechanism for matching different target folders (entered in the dictionary) on the basis of names.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.

matching different target folders (entered in the dictionary) on the basis of names.

Not sure if I understood. Means that if the torrent contains a specific keyword I can automatically set a taget folder?

Oh yes... I almost forgot folder dictionary! What is that? How should be used? It's just a directory for download folders?

@auanasgheps About "Automatically matches data directory", This feature is usually used for PT.
Probably mean: match the new seed content according to the directory dictionary and automatically verify.

PT looks like as a plugin to add torrents to Transmission straight from the browser, but I believe there are other features. Because I've never used PT (it's in Chinese) I don't know what this plugin can do.

What do you mean with "match the new seed content"?
You mean that I can set a download folder for every torrent website? Or is it based on the content (music, videos etc)?

@auanasgheps PT = Private Tracker.
Sorry for my english, :) i'm used google translate.
For Example
I need add some torrents, I know they have been downloaded, but I don't know exactly which directory to save, so I need a directory dictionary to use for automatic matching. So I've defined a dictionary that contains 100 directories.

• This is my directory dictionary
  
• I add some torrents
  

1. I chose a default directory
2. Add torrent url
3. Do not auto start.

• Now, There are some torrents showing progress of 0 because they didn't find the real data directory
  

• I select all the unfinished torrents (7 torrents) and use this feature.
  

• Let it begin to work and wait for execution to complete
  

• Now, I got the following results, 2 torrents matched.

I do not use this but a tutorial on this topic could appear in the project Wiki.

Yes this could be used as tutorial!
