  * **watch-dir:** String
  * **watch-dir-enabled:** Boolean (default = false) Watch a directory for torrent files and add them to Transmission.
    _Note: When **watch-dir-enabled** is true, only the transmission-daemon, transmission-gtk, and transmission-qt applications will monitor **watch-dir** for new .torrent files and automatically load them._
+ * **watch-dir-force-generic**: Boolean (default = false) Force to use a watch directory implementation that does not rely on OS-specific mechanisms. Useful when your watch directory is on a network location, such as CIFS or NFS.
+   _Note: transmission-daemon only._
 
 #### Misc
  * **cache-size-mb:** Number (default = 4), in megabytes, to allocate for Transmission's memory cache. The cache is used to help batch disk IO together, so increasing the cache size can be used to reduce the number of disk reads and writes. The value is the total available to the Transmission instance. Setting this to 0 bypasses the cache, which may be useful if your filesystem already has a cache layer that aggregates transactions.
