Hi @dstftw and Team, THANK YOU for all your work in fixing this bug! Sorry for the bother, but if we could expedite the new release or if you could briefly walk me through how to integrate/"incorporate" the updated codes into the existing version of .exe file (by reverse compilation?) before the new release so we can start downloading an important video before it expires, that'll be much much appreciated:-)

Thank you!
