YouTube and other video sites. The video button, the popup and the New
download window offer each quality, from 4K down to audio only. These sites
go through yt-dlp, with ffmpeg joining video and audio; both are fetched on
first use (ffmpeg comes from the system on macOS and Linux) and yt-dlp is
checked for updates daily. The download window shows yt-dlp's progress and
steps such as merging.
Changed
Adding the extension is a guided step. Until the extension is on the
Chrome Web Store, Add the extension opens a four-step guide that points at
the copy SwiftDL installs, with a button to open that folder, instead of
store buttons that led nowhere. The automatic-offer switch is hidden until
the listing exists.
Simpler extension popup. A compact menu in the app's style: the status
under the name, single-line settings, and the video list only when the page
has something to download.
The New download window comes to the front instead of flashing in the
taskbar.
The README now points at the installed extension folder rather than the zip.
Fixed
Settings → Browser showed every browser as needing the extension even when
it was connected. SwiftDL now records which browser the extension talked to
from, and marks that browser as connected.
Contacts that didn't come from a browser (such as a test) no longer count
as the extension being connected.
The extension popup no longer shows "SwiftDL isn't installed" while it is
connected.
The download window's shadow no longer shows as a faint box around it.
