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.

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.

Not sure why nobody's responded, you can paste in a list of URLs separated by commas. eg: https://youtu.be/XxXxXyyyyyY,https://youtu.be/YyYyyZZzzZ,https://youtu.be/AaBbCcDdEe
