Description
Short
When you add a non-torrent file <>.torrent to the Watch-dir, it does get the extension ".added" (suggesting it was added), it does not get into queue (understable), but there is no message in Message Log (confusing / bug)
I would expect this from Transmission:
1) extension ".NOTadded" or ".fault" added
2) logging in Message Log about "not a torrent format"
Long
I was adding .torrent files to my Watch-dir. They got the extension ".added" added to their filename in that Watch-dir (so that looked good), but they were not added to the tranmission queue. Weird.
The transmission Help -> Message Log was not showing anything.
When starting transmission-gtk from the CLI, it said:
Message: Skipping unknown torrent "/home/sander/Downloads/torrent-scan-dir/blabla.torrent"
Aha ... "unknown torrent".
Then I discovered the blabla.torrent was not a correct .torrent format (it was a gzipped torrent).
OK, root cause found.
But I would expect this from Transmission:
1) extension ".NOTadded" or ".fault" added
2) logging in Message Log about "not a torrent format"
Tested on Ubuntu 15.04 with transmission-2.84+ transmission-trunk-r14535.tar.xz

I added
and now I get an 'correct' error message in Help -> Message Log.
