[Settings/Torrents] Download location is not properly sent to qBitorrent 5.0 with default application

[VictorJozwicki]

It would seems like after the recent update of qBittorrent to version 5.0, Taiga is unable to download a torrent and set the destination folder as it used to do.

Every downloads go directly to the default location

How to reproduce

• Have the "Use the default application associated with .torrent files" activated on Taiga
• Install qBittorrent v5.0.0
• Download a torrent in Taiga from the Torrents section

Workaround

• In Settings -> Torrents -> Download
• Use a custom application
  

Workaround 2

You can download the version v4.6.7 from SourceForge
I can confirm that this version still works after redownloading it

You can select the Use a custom application option from Settings → Torrents → Downloads → BitTorrent client as a workaround.

When the Use the default application associated with .torrent files option is selected, Taiga reads some registry keys to figure out the path (e.g. C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe) automatically. Apparently, qBitorrent 5.0 does things differently due to qbittorrent/qBittorrent#19446.

Note to self: Looks like we need to read HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.torrent\UserChoice\ProgId to retrieve qBittorrent.File.Torrent, query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\qBittorrent.File.Torrent\shell\open\command, then process the data as before.

Thanks for the answer Erengy

C++ and Windows are not really my domain so I couldn't investigate more sorry ^^'

Thanks for the explanation

Is there any chance we can see an update released that addresses this?
