Made several fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that prevents a crash in v0.3.1 on folder selection.
  • Fixed a dev-version bug that caused the download folder to be the shortened version of the path in the GUI.
  • Fixed an issue where the not shortened version would appear when it shouldn't be, in the GUI.

Profiles, bugfixes, and some slightly better looking UI.

Latest release is a useful one.
Ninja update, added version v0.3.1 becuase of some crashes.

Front-End:

  • User can now save profiles. Profile section is in main tab, so you can download without having to check if your usual profile is active. Right-Click current profile to delete it.
  • There are two option trees, one for frequently used options, and one for the others.
  • Right click a parameter to favorite, add new options if it takes any, or remove some.
  • Lots more default settings.
  • You will now be prompted to add an option if a parameter needs one, but doesn't have any.
  • Right-click the download location path at the top of tab 2 to get the option to open that folder.
  • Downloads are now automatically queued up, so just keep on adding and they will start after the last one is done.
  • There is a queue counter, which will increment to show that you are indeed adding downloads to the queue.
  • Queued downloads will have the options that was selected when you added it to the queue, so you can queue different downloads with different parameters, no problem!
  • The UI style is now less rounded. Seems cleaner!

Back-End:

  • Added Filehandler class. Centralized path finding and IO handling. (By the wrapper, Youtube-dl still does it's own thing.)
  • Settings integrity checking should be more robust.
  • Bug fixes
  • New bugs
  • Lots of new TODOs scattered though the code

Known issues:

  • Custom parameter is removed when swapping to a profile.... Returns on restart, just don't swap the profile. Even if the option is not visible, it's still counted and will it'll keep the last state it had when you queue a download!
  • The program crashes if you right-click the custom parameter... Guess that's what you get when you have a wobbly implementation. Future releases will either remove the custom option or fix it. It's not consisted with the rest of the parameters, and not intuitive for the average user.

More parameters and better layout.

Pre-release

Testing first alpha version. Changes not reflected in readme screenshots.

Features:

  • Added more of the youtube-dl parameters to the default settings.
  • Split the setup into two trees, one for favorites, and often used options, another for the rest.
  • When you enter the program, the url line will he highligthed by default, so you can just use Ctrl+V to paste the link without needing to click the box. Then just press Enter to start the download.
  • You can now add options to parameters that support/need it (but not remove them!!) by right clicking and selecting add option.

Problems:

  • Can not remove an added option without going into the settings at the current moment.
  • Probably more bugs...

Pre-release

Somehow broke the passing of the textfile path to youtube-dl. Fixed now!

Also moved text output to use utf-8, so more characters are supported in the stream from youtube-dl. (Again, this has no affect on functionality.)

Second release! v0.2

Second release! v0.2 Pre-release
Pre-release

Some new features and fixes.

Features:

  • If the download link tab is clicked now, all text will be highlighted. Useful since most of the time, you want to copy-paste links, not write them by hand.

  • You can now add a custom parameter in the GUI, double click on bottom parameter, by default called just custom. All arguments youtube-dl use are supported, they get separated by space, you can write several of them. (I you want to add many more arguments, with possible options, it is possible by changing the settings file that's created when you run the program. Create a issue if you want to know how, it's very simple.)

  • Better checks and feedback if the settings file is corrupt or missing critical options.

Fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where the archive.txt file was accidentally stored in the temp folder... which deletes once you close Grabber.

  • Extended character support in the textfeed. Though, many special characters will not show. Does not affect functionality! Also better handle the feed, no longer highlighted text under certain circumstances.

  • It's now harder to create duplicate download location options.

  • Fixed an issue where the size of the parameter tree did update when adding a new download option.

  • Other behind the scenes changes, and fixes.

First build! Pre-release
Pre-release

First built executable. God knows how buggy it could be on another computer.

Reminder: Got to have the youtube-dl and ffmpeg in the same folder as the program is, or in PATH. Also recommended to update youtube-dl, if you haven't in a while, either manually, or use the update button in the about tab.
