👁️ Watchlist Upgrades
- "On Disk" filter: You can now filter the Watchlist to show only creators you have already downloaded to your storage drives.
- Smart filtered update checks: The "Check All" button now dynamically updates to check only the creators visible in your active filter instead of scanning your entire library.
⚡ Hardware-Accelerated Video Compression
- Faster video compression with your GPU: Video compression now supports hardware acceleration using NVIDIA NVENC, Intel Quick Sync, and AMD AMF for significantly faster encoding.
- Automatic dedicated GPU detection: Systems with multiple graphics cards (such as an Intel processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce card) automatically prioritize your high-performance dedicated graphics card.
🖼️ Gallery Improvements
- Background compression: Compressing videos and pictures from the Gallery now runs quietly in the background with a discreet progress badge, allowing you to keep browsing freely.
⚙️ New Setting
- Startup watchlist check toggle: You can now choose whether the app automatically scans your watchlist on startup in Settings → Watchlist & Follows.
🛠️ Fixes
- Unexpected download folders fixed: Resolved an issue where temporary paths could corrupt your saved download folder and cause downloads to fall back into your Downloads folder.
I hope you enjoy using Pawchive Downloader! If you run into any issues, notice unexpected behavior, or have ideas for improvements, please don't hesitate to open a bug report. Your feedback helps me make the app better with every update.
I work on Pawchive simply because I enjoy it, and it will always be free. If you'd ever like to support it, I have a Ko-fi page, but please only do so if you can comfortably afford it. It's never expected, and using the app and sharing your feedback already means a lot to me. 💙
