v0.5.5

What's new

  • Real browser download capture — the extension no longer relies only on context menus / media bar. A chrome.downloads.onCreated listener now intercepts normal browser downloads, hands them to Copper, and cancels the browser's own copy only after a successful dispatch. Direct files go through Copper's HTTP engine; video/playlist links still route to yt-dlp.
  • Include/exclude file-format filter (Settings > Downloads) — choose which file formats Copper accepts, enforced app-wide across every intake path (Add URL, copper://, /api/download, native-messaging pipe, cold-start). Defaults: all images excluded, all non-image formats included. A URL with no extension is always allowed.
  • Trackers tab removed from Settings (torrent seeding untouched).

Extension (v5.3.0, Chrome + Firefox)

  • Auto-capture of normal browser downloads with include/exclude filtering (new downloads permission, reads the same filter lists from the app via /api/download-filters)

Artifacts

  • CopperDownloadManager-0.5.5-setup.exe (installer)
  • CopperDownloadManager-0.5.5-portable.zip (portable)

Tests

  • 44/44 integration cases pass against the 0.5.5 exe (incl. new download-filters + excluded-image cases)
