A More Intelligent Tube Converter💡

This week's beta features some bug fixes and new features for users to try out as we work our way to a stable C# release!

First, we added a brand new queue system to Tube Converter which will separate downloads into three respective categories: Downloading, Completed, and Queue. The max number of active downloads can be changed in preferences (the default value is 5). If too many active downloads are in progress, a new download will be placed into the queue. Once an active download finishes, the queued download will be moved up into the Downloading section and start downloading.

Furthermore, we added the ability to view a download's logs as the download is occurring, giving power users an insight into the behind the scenes of a download.

All that's left for us to complete is playlist support, #2 before the stable release. There is also currently a known yt-dlp issue in which downloads may be slower than they were a few weeks ago. This is being looked into and a fix is being actively worked on yt-dlp's side of things.

A Message To Translators 🌍
