jq: Argument list too long

[IkiaeM]

Hello,

I've just discovered your extra ordinary and very useful tools.
But I've run into a problem, let me explain.

I have more than 500 torrents in my qbit, and when I add a torrent your before-after verification method retrieves the entire list of torrents and compares it... with the entire list of torrents after the upload.
Except that I wasn't getting the torrent hash or even the info that followed because JQ was actually returning an error but you weren't showing it, so I reproduced your code by hand and indeed jq has arguments that are too long. It seems that having a lot of torrents is too much for him and therefore no result.

So I put in place, not having read all your code and everything you did.
I first tried to limit the number of results directly via the API call with "limit=10" but it doesn't seem to return the last element sorted by date, which is a problem....
So I abandoned the idea of processing directly from the api but after your call by adding "| jq .[-10:]" which filters the list of torrents to the last 10 elements and then I put this on the $oldinfo, $newinfo and recheck $newinfo.

I haven't done this anywhere else, using nothing else, but I think it might be useful to reduce the number to maybe 50 items, which seems more reasonable to check that no more than 1 torrent has been uploaded, or none at all.

Line 562 : local oldinfo=$(__META_qbrequest 'torrents/info?sort=added_on' | jq .[-10:])
Line 575 : local newinfo=$(__META_qbrequest 'torrents/info?sort=added_on' 2>/dev/null | jq .[-10:])
Line 580 : newinfo=$(__META_qbrequest 'torrents/info?sort=added_on' 2>/dev/null | jq .[-10:])

By the way, I didn't understand why the variable wasn't local in the case of recheck if $diff is empty.
But here's my modification

Good day/evening
