Adding a list of URL's to the queue #505

Greetings~!

This isn't an issue so much as a feature request.

Up until something broke youtube-dl back in February or so, I haven't been able to utilize some of the scripts I've written to interact with youtube-dl.exe.

Anyway, adding something to the queue in the GUI only works (1) string at a time, so being able to browse for a particular file, OR, allowing the input string to split between line breaks... would be pretty cool.

As it is, this utility is really cool. But being able to adding a list of URLs from the clipboard or (file system object/text file) would be pretty amazing.

To simplify what I mean... https://youtu.be/XxXxXyyyyyY https://youtu.be/YyYyyZZzzZ https://youtu.be/AaBbCcDdEe

Having that information on the clipboard joins those strings together, and even if I add line breaks, it just replaces the line breaks with a space.

Those aren't real links by the way, but it would be nice to paste all (3) to the clipboard and then queue them into the utility.
