1.3.5

WavesConverter v1.3.5

Features

• 📶 Dynamic Quality Previews — After loading video metadata, the "Best" quality option now automatically detects the highest available format and displays it in parentheses (e.g., Best (1080p) or Best (2160p)). This applies to both single video downloads and quality overrides for individual playlist items.
• 🎨 Fast GIF Generator — A built-in, highly efficient, and offline dual-pass FFmpeg algorithm with Start Time and Duration settings, accessible directly within the converter.
• 🖼️ HD Thumbnail Downloader — A direct button to instantly save YouTube thumbnails in the highest available resolution.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• 📊 Fixed History Statistics Panel — Implemented a brand-new, multi-tiered file size retrieval algorithm. It features advanced parsing of the yt-dlp stdout stream alongside a dual-fallback system that scans for modified files. This completely resolves the issue where file sizes were displayed as 0 MB for videos containing special characters, brackets, or emojis in their titles.
• ⚙️ Compatibility Fixes — Resolved Opus audio codec issues on Windows (by adding automatic AAC audio encoding for MP4 files), fixed production update checks (electron-updater), and corrected destination folder path parsing in Windows environments.
