I. please add, something similar:

I want to add URLs using the mouse not only hotkey ctrl+v.

II. also the main window title "Youtube Downloader" is misleading as many websites are supported by yt-dlp. III: also please consider adding a fancy program icon ;)

cheers

OS: Win10

Sure, when this is resolved: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/issues/403

I personally think it's fine, but what do you suggest instead?

III: also please consider adding a fancy program icon ;)

This is platform specific, and I don't know how packaging windows apps work, and how you attach icons to it (I mean the whole windows package is just a portable zip file, which shows I don't know/want to deal with it)

I have no experience with Rust, but I couldn't imagine that adding a context menu would be so difficult. 😁 As for the name, since this application is a user interface for ytdlp, you might want to give it a name that reflects this fact, or keep the title but change it to YouTube Downloader.
Regarding the icon I will then change it myself when the muse kisses me.

It's not a rust specific issue, it's mostly because so many OSs have so many ways to display a context menu, so winit and iced want to be cross-platform and that makes it harder to implement, and take more time

But when it's there it shouldn't be too hard to use

As for the name, since this application is a user interface for ytdlp, you might want to give it a name that reflects this fact, or keep the title but change it to YouTube Downloader.

Maybe a unique name could be the best option here, but that could make the project less findable

Good luck :)

closed since the context menu issue can't be resolved by me
