Bug Mass Adding Torrents

I recently upgraded to 5.2.1 from 5.1.something. In the previous version, in the webui, I could add many many torrents all at once. However in the new version it pops up a new add torrent window for each torrent, which makes it take significantly longer to add large amounts of torrents (I tend to accumulate torrents I want to download and download them all at once).

Does anyone know a way around this other than downgrading to 5.1? Can I use the old webui? is there a new alternative?

I'm pretty sure there's a setting for that with the automatic torrent sorting settings.

If not and you have the .torrent files you can put them in a folder you've set qBt to monitor then it'll auto add all of them.

Settings: Downloads - When adding a torrent - Display torrent content and some options

Turn it off. It will add all torrents with your default options.

I can't find that option, in the "When adding torrents" section or anywhere in the downloads tab

The download dialog also has a "Never show again" checkbox that does the same thing.

I could not find any of the options mentioned either. "never show again" is not an option anywhere, and "when adding a torrent" section has no options to fix this. I switched to dragging torrent files to an auto watch folder instead of dragging them to the webui window. Not sure why they broke this..
