Request: option to "Force Start" in qBittorrent

[sysyoak]

It would be nice if there was an option [maybe a slider next to "Start Paused"] in the dialog box to override the queue for certain torrents.

Here is the api documentation: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/wiki/WebUI-API-(qBittorrent-4.1)#set-force-start

Please consider adding, thank you.

any chance you could do some testing on this build? https://github.com/bogenpirat/remote-torrent-adder/actions/runs/18630721717/artifacts/4310962982

of particular interest:

• does the parameter get added reliably?
• what happens when per-torrent config isn't enabled?
• do the settings get persisted properly?
• any other observations/wrong behavior?

Thanks for attempting this. I ran the unpacked extension of that build you linked, I see the new option in the menu however it doesn't seem to effect the qbittorent client in any way. And when viewing the network traffic in DevTools I see the HTTP POST for /login and /add, but I do not see a subsequent one for /setForceStart.
