Video Downloader Auto Updates by itself. #233

Hello, hard working opensource heroes.

A) God bless you, for a great free tool that is better or on pair with many paid ones. (those companies that gladly will sell us all out for a profit too)

B) For unknown reasons my Video Downloader seems to be updating itself? (it's version 0.12.9) My system: Fedora, I remember that I installed it directly from from this repo a few months back. But cant find the install commands in the terminal log. It likely bugged and did not save it. But I can see it as "installed" in my "Snap Store". Maybe I installed it this time through the Snap Store. I have been in/uninstalling this program many times because it suddenly stops working and then installing it from different sources over the last 1 year.

But my point is that for unknown reasons it seems to auto update? (it never did this in the past) Or it's me missing something about Linux/Fedora.

The only time I update my Fedora machine is when the Fedora App Store prompts me to update. But it is never showing me that Video Downloader will be updated? But Fedora is showing the pop-up that Video Downloader is ready to be updated and that I should shut the app down. And it actually seems like it auto updates after shutting the app down. (I guess Fedora spots the new version when I open the app) just like it happened 3-4 days ago.

I guess the Fedora OS works perfect with the Snap Store, and updates it's apps too. I have seen that for other apps I think. And that is cool, but why does it update some apps Automatically? And other apps I have to give manual permission (Click on "Download updates now" and then "Install Updates & Restart")

Thanks for your time & help.
