2 years ago First of all, thank you for your support! I did notice a lot of traffic coming from videohelp and was curious who submitted it. Now that I know, I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts.
Unfortunately, I have to say no to some of your requests. youtube-dl-wpf is just a small side project of mine. My approach to its development will always be to prioritize my own use cases, while also catering to the community as much as I can. As you may have noticed, I have already implemented a bunch of new features and made quite a few changes based on community feedback. Decisions on whether to adopt a proposal from the community are made by evaluating the usefulness of the proposed feature or change for me and the wider community, and the feasibility of implementing it in my limited spare time.
Now that I have explained my ways of doing side projects to you, let's go through your proposals:
One button for pasting URL from the clipboard and start the download.
I always find the practice of an app actively reading the clipboard content to be kind of invasive. The only way for me to give you the content of my clipboard should be me pressing Ctrl + V. Right now you can already press Ctrl + V and hit Enter to quickly start a download. In my opinion it's even faster and more convenient than moving your mouse cursor to the button and clicking it.
Option to shut down the computer after finishing download tasks.
I don't feel comfortable implementing something that can do stuff like shutting down the whole system. Personally I never shut down my computers. Whenever I want to use them, they are always ready for use.
Make it easier for non-technical folks to use.
While I believe good UX is something that empowers everyone who uses it, this project at its current state is certainly not for someone without the necessary technical skills. It takes a lot of time and effort to improve UX, and I'm not really interested in it.
Add presets with sponsorblock.
Now this does look like something I could implement. After looking into it, I feel it would be better to implement it as an option, like the custom download path. It could give you some builtin values like default, all, intro, outro to select from, and also allow you to specify custom values. The option would generate --sponsorblock-remove <arg>. What do you think?

Hello ,I discover and use now Cube YouTube Downloader - youtube-dl-wpf and it is absolutely sensational and wonderful work of art ! Thank you so much !
I have a some requests for even more improvement please: manuel and automatic paste url adress from clipboard and and merge and unify the paste from clipboard button and download button to make only one button click and thus=a faster comfortable download, batch downloader ti add multiple url adress to the list and download them later, clearer warning to let us know the end of the download and its success, and an option to exit or shut down the computer after download finish, and to facilitate and simplify the task for beginners and ordinary users who know nothing about computers because finding the right compatible yt-dlp/FFmpeg version can be difficult, that's why it's good idea to make a classic installer for windows 10 which allows us to automatically install yt-dlp/FFmpeg and update them , and add preset sponsorblock to default preset and add sponsorblock to worst audio preset or make new preset worst audio sponsorblock because il may be difficlut to newbies to find and add preset and i would like to recommend this software to some of my friends and twitter followers who know very little things about computers adn softwares option.... thank you very much !
