3.3.0 Extended batch downloading preview Pre-release
Extended batch downloader
An extended batch downloader was added to the same form of the extended downloader - saving a lot of headaches in the future. Feel free to BREAK IT and report the issues to me.
This means that the extended downloader has also been modified to accomodate this new change, which may break some things unintentionally.
You can access it through the main form under Tools -> Batch operations -> Batch extended download
Other changes that I managed to decode:
Extended downloads now support having a specific time specified. It may not be the best at the moment.
Additionally, the URL text box has been replaced with a hyperlink on the top-left of the extended form.
3 new download options - Skip unavailable fragments, Abort on error, and Fragment threads.
Version bug fix, if versa was not equal-to versb it would cause a recursion loop - this was not in use so no actual damage would have been done.
CopyData methodology changed... yet again.
Using arguments to download media will work.
Using arguments to download media while another one is in queue will throw it into that application instance and not run a new instance.
Some language grammar fixes.
Conversion checkboxes in the settings have been re-arrange visually.
Minor merger fix - output files are now quoted so it doesn't break.
Custom arguments disallow use of the pipe character '|'. Non-negotiable.
Quick downloader adds a running action item linking to itself on creation, so less room for issues.

All features
This is simply a GUI for said application for windows users, without the inconsistent GUI bloat, and weight, and possible viruses. youtube-dl is not included because it's not my program, instead this application automatically downloads it. I don't fully understand how youtube-dl works, so this is only including 3 donload options, Video, Audio (MP3), and Custom, as well as changable audio quality ranging from 8-320k. Custom lets you input your own youtube-dl arguments. Settings is not quite done yet, but will be included once I get around to finding a way to save them. I, then, need to find a way to move the newely created file to a customizable path set by the user, but for now it saves the files in the youtube-dl folder.

Outstanding software, specially for people with limited vision. I always have problems with command line programs because of that. This program solves that and numerous other things. In my opinion, Batch Download is like a programmable Auto-Pilot. Set it up, turn it on and it runs until my ISP craps out or it finishes the list of files in the batch. Thank you, Murrty!

Youtube-dl-gui, in my opinion is very simple and effective, and has everything you need, to use youtube dl in the best way, an outstanding feature it is the batch download, it is the only program that has this function, and depending on the site you download it from, this tool is of paramount importance, and gives a very large time gain. For me, who doesn't understand much of the youtube-dl command lines, the tools already available help me a lot! I recommend this program.
