Hi there,

could there be a smart URL detection mode to be enabled that grabs supported URLs from clipboard. this would save the url as long as the smart mode is on, there won’t be a dialog to enter multiple URLs,

options within smart mode a. if option b and c are not checked. the user gets prompted, so just auto grab the video b. option for video, or just music. each with a default profile. i guess those would be the most used. c. a specific path for music and a separate for videos.

changes in UI

Add an Icon for smart mode.
Add an icon for auto music
Add an icon for auto video

Thankyou

Hi @JPluess,

just trying to reiterate to make sure I understood your suggestion. So when enabled, this "smart mode" should do the following:

in the most basic form, it should automatically grab video urls from the user's clipboard and fetch them into the UI (a)
when a "download profile" is configured, it should not only fetch the video into the UI, but also directly download it with the configured options (b) & (c)

Please let me know if this is what you thought of. Anyway, I'll look into implementing something in this direction :)

Hey, I released part of this in version 0.6.0. When the automation mode is activated, e.g. via the button with the lightning in the toolbar, Vividl will automatically grab urls from the clipboard and add them to the video list. Optionally, the videos can be directly downloaded (configure under Settings -> Advanced.

I'll look into adding support for download profiles in the near future. These then also should be usable with this automation mode.
