Feature request : retain urls in queue list if ripme is closed while downloading #175

Open ravenstorm767 opened 9 years ago

pretty much what the title says.

and also, maybe retain the url of the current album being downloaded.

ive had plenty of times where i have to close ripme because it suddenly stops downloading and other issues. i would then have to re-add all the urls in the queue again, which would take a lot of time. i think itll help a lot of other people as well who do batch downloads of many urls

This in combination with features like saving the image URLs that have been downloaded would help make the application much more user friendly.

Doing this feature in particular would just require writing a file to indicate progress every time a rip is queued or finished, so that if the application is closed, when it is opened again, that file will tell the application how to reload the state.

I think it would be a good idea not to simply start any outstanding downloads, but maybe display a message to the user and have them manually click a "resume rips" button.
