Video grabber QoL enhancement. - rey - 06-26-2024
Not sure since which exact version video grabber became internal and not based on some external site anymore, but this grabber is very useful.! The only 2 things lacking for it are QoL:
- animation-progress in taskbar (while download progresses)
- sound at the end of download (just like with ordinary downloads, can be tied to the same enabling sound option)
Can these please be added?

Sound is easier to add.
But the download progress is not easy to handle, because for some streaming videos, the downloader does not know the total size.
In some cases you can use command bookmark to call yt-dlp directly. e.g.:
cmd://"d:\yt-dlp.exe" {URL}
RE: Video grabber QoL enhancement. - rey - 06-26-2024
At least sound would be already good.
Considering streaming videos: maybe progress can be shown only when it's possible (total size / number of parts is known), and no progress when information is unclear?

OK, we will consider improving it.

Additional QoL proposition. Can you please add an option to pre-select the default location for video-grabber, so it doesn't need to ask each time?
Not only that's convenient(as an option), yet solves situation when system is busy, and simple task of opening Save Location window takes some ~15sec, while user can do noting to browser.

or just the path -P 'D:\video\yt-dlp'
This -P option also has a path for a temporary location during downloading where audio and video are combined, and then saved to the final folder
-P temp:'C:\Temp'
-P home:'D:\video\yt -dlp'
-o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'
each command on a new line

Don't know why i missed this in past, but another good QoL addition would a sound for an error of download = since there is no any alarm for user that download is halted, due to some problem, it's easy to miss that some video download is "error-stuck" for long time already. Hope Admini will see this to reply.
Summing-up QoLs:
- grabber download progress on taskbar (when possible: size/number of pieces available)
- sound when download finished
- sound if download stopped with error
- option to pre-select location for grabber to auto-save
