Save/load URL lists to/from text file #258

Closed ephrimlawrence closed 6 years ago

ephrimlawrence commented 6 years ago

Url list is saved to a text file 'url-list.txt' when the window is about to be closed. Url list is loaded from text file 'url-list.txt' and appended to textctrl widget. This is a suggested solution to #206.

Quoting #206:

It would be easy to load it when you want ant start or continue downloading. Maybe an alternative to autosave url´s when close program.

What she/he basically asks is a way to save-load urls as a project (format does not matter, could be TXT) while the application is running, and NOT a way to save the urls on program shutdown.

Except from the above, i'm planning to store the application's state during shutdown and restore it during the startup, so there is no reason to merge this pull-request.

If you still want to contribute to this project, i suggest you to check issues with the good first issue tag.
