This release focused on bugs, particularly those in the Batch function.
- Enabled the MacYTDL Service to work in the Brave web browser.
- Batch downloads should work rather than crashing MacYTDL.
- Monitor should no longer encounter an error because the response file name is too long. If the name is too long, any custom output template is removed.
- A warning is displayed if the format of the “BatchFile.txt” file is incorrect – usually because of manual edits.
- “Show settings before download” is now implemented for batch downloads.
- An error should no longer be caused by non-UTF-8 characters in a file name saved in “BatchFile.txt”.
- Batch downloads now respect the runtime option for downloads folder set in Main dialog.
- Progress monitor for a batch download no longer shows a redundant return character after the file name.
- Python version has been removed from the “Show settings” dialog. It was pointless as all Macs still have Python 2.7 installed and YT-DLP is packaged with Python 3.8.
- The “Remove last item” function no longer raises an error if there is only one URL in the batch.
- The progress monitor dialog no longer shows a URL after the file name.
- It is no longer possible to dismiss the “download folder is not available” warning without making the folder available, returning to the Main dialog or quitting MacYTDL.
- Changes to Settings cannot be saved if the downloads folder is not available.
- MacYTDL can now use an NAS as the download folder. This has been tested on a basic
Netcomm modem. Results may vary with the make and arrangement of NAS. - Code used to get the current date and time has been fine-tuned.
- Some old code has been removed.
