✨ Features
-
Download queue: Configure multiple downloads and run them together. New "Add to queue" and "Queue" buttons let you stage jobs instead of downloading immediately.
- Queued downloads run sequentially, each using the exact settings selected when it was added.
- The queue is saved between application launches.
- Failed or cancelled jobs stay in the queue and can be retried.
- The queue dialog supports reviewing, removing, and clearing finished jobs.
- See the Usage section in the README for details (#107, thanks @avtandil33).
-
Audio format conversion for video downloads: Audio format conversion now applies to videos, not just audio-only downloads. The selected video stream is copied without re-encoding while the audio track is converted to your preferred format (AAC, MP3, FLAC, WAV, Opus, Vorbis, M4A) (#145, thanks @AmandaClarke65).
-
Reverse order for playlists: Added the option to list playlists in reverse order (#155, thanks @christubuntu).
🔧 Improvements
- Red glow effect and custom styling added to the main Download button.
- The queue's Start queue button now shares the same glow styling.
- Secondary buttons (custom options, about, history, time range, settings, and queue) are now disabled and hidden while a video is processing, preventing conflicting actions and making the UI cleaner during downloads.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Fixed an unnecessary horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the playlist selection dialog.
📖 Documentation
- Added a Download Queue usage guide to the README.
- Clarified the audio format conversion docs to reflect that it applies to both audio-only and video downloads.
