Adding multiple urls? #303

Closed Yankees4life closed 2 days ago

Yankees4life commented 1 week ago

Any plans to support adding multiple urls? I have a bunch of urls that I grab videos from that I want to use with one profile instead of adding multiple ones at once (which would take long and be too tedious). Cheers

Hey there! Thanks for the report (:

Just letting you know I'm on vacation for another week and I'll look at this once I'm back!

For now, I'll say that I like the idea but I'm not sure how I'd implement it when it comes to things like custom names for sources with multiple URLs. I'll think about it and see what I can come up with once I'm back 🤙🏻

Okay, I think I have something here in #306. I was hoping to get a solution where there was one form and you could multi-add source URLs but that ended up being a really confusing experience in many cases, especially on mobile. There might still be a way to do this but I couldn't figure it out without detracting from existing flows.

What I was able to do instead is to use the current form but greatly increase the speed at which you can fill it. These are the steps you can use to really speed things up once this change is merged and released:

  1. Find a source that has the settings you want to copy
  2. Click actions > Use as Template
  3. Paste the new URL (the Source URL field is now focused by default so you don't even need to click into it)
  4. Press ctrl + enter to submit the form
  5. Repeat from step 2 as-needed

It's not perfect, but with these changes it takes me about 2 seconds to create a source with the settings I liked compared to ~15 seconds before this change.
