[Feature Request] Auto-Download Videos After Setting Preferences

Description: I would like to request a new feature that allows videos to be automatically downloaded once the user has configured their preferences for audio, video, and download folder.

Current Behavior: Currently, users need to manually start the download of videos even after setting their preferences for audio quality, video quality, and the download directory.

Desired Behavior: Once a user has configured their preferences for audio quality, video quality, and the download folder, videos should start downloading automatically without requiring additional manual intervention.

Benefits:

Implementation Suggestions:

  1. Settings Configuration: Add options in the settings menu to select the preferred audio quality, video quality, and download folder.
  2. Auto-Download Toggle: Include a toggle option to enable or disable the auto-download feature.
  3. Confirmation Prompt: Optionally, provide a confirmation prompt before auto-downloading begins to ensure users are aware of the process.
  4. Progress Monitoring: Include a progress bar or notification system to keep users informed about the status of their downloads.

Example:

Thank you for considering this feature request.

Sounds good That would likely require 2 buttons, one for audio and one for video. I think, adding confirmation prompt defeats the whole purpose because downloading a video still just takes 2 clicks if the required preferences are set. I will try to implement it, thanks for the well structured proposal
