  1. I've just installed the latest build to test the new label functionality because in the current stable build the functionality seems to have been removed, and I was hoping to get rid of my current setup which runs different instances of uTorrent. A few things are not entirely clear in the labelling GUI, so here are some notes: 1. If I understand right, the upper part is meant for auto labelling (label) based on the filename to contain a certain string (Definition, contains). Should this be a textual string or a regexp or any other parameterized text? What are the default rules (audio, document, video)? 2. When I add a rule to the upper part I can select it in the pulldown for the lower part (label-directory mapping). I can not select the persistent labels which are in set in the advanced settings/Extra U when I have JUST added them, only when closing settings they're shown in the lower pulldown. Applying settings on the persistent labels does not seem to update the pulldown. When I add a label to the upper part and remove it I can still select it in the lower part, even when I press apply. Only after closing down the setting completely the label disappears from the lower box entry field. 3. There is only one checkmark for both autolabelling and label mapping, which seems to mean that you either activate both or not. The top one is for matching the content and set the label, the lower one is for specifying the download(?) folder.I believe it shouldn't be mandatory to use both auto labelling as mapping to download folder. Maybe you don't want to automatically set the label, but you want to put torrent (which you have manually / API labelled) in the right folder! 4. It seems that when you add a label to the top box (auto labelling) and close down the settings / reopen it, the label is automatically added to the "persistent labels" in advanced/Extra UI. This does not always work correctly. The first character of the first label often gets corrupted and then you get some random strange character. Also when it adds a label to the end of the persistant labels, it sometimes doesn't set the pipe character and things get messed up, esspecially when you have existing persistent labels. Now it's possible to edit both persistent labels and auto labels and they influence one another. Why not create a Label box where you can add labels (like persistent labels , but then less text-based) above the existing two boxes (auto label and label mapping), and make sure that in both existing boxes you can ONLY select from that list, and NOT add a custom label there, that should be done in the label box. 4. It is not entirely clear what the mapping directories in the lower box mean, are these download folders (I suppose they are)? Of course it's nice to be able to set the download directory for the labels, but (in my case) this is only useful when you can also set a specific watchfolder for the labels. I was expecting to see to columns: "download folder" and "watch folder" so I can automatically set the label if the torrent has been "imported" from a specific folder. It seams now we can only set one watch folder in the general folder options which does not set the label. To explain the situation: I have multiple applications which generate/download torrent files which should automatically appear in uTorrent. The resulting download should be handled by the application which provided the torrent. To keep them separated they should be downloaded in the corresponding folder, so every application should have a watchfolder and a download folder.
