Format table: when in playlist mode and the format has a video codec, prefix the quality and (when available) resolution with "≤ " to indicate an upper-bound. Resolution is only prefixed if it's not "N/A".
Main UI: replace the old checkbox-list lookup with scanning the format_table rows to find the checked checkbox widget, pick the correct resolution column depending on playlist mode, strip any leading "≤ " and use that as the selected resolution. This fixes resolution selection for playlist entries and ensures the displayed "≤" semantics are handled when extracting values.
Previously the code assumed the height was always the second value in the "WxH" resolution string. This change splits the resolution into parts, verifies there are two components, and uses the smaller dimension (min) as the height to correctly classify vertical videos. Also avoids potential index errors when the resolution string is malformed.
Document the new Concurrent Connections setting: explains that downloads can use multiple fragments concurrently to increase speed, where to find it (Download Settings → General → Concurrent Connections), the default value (1), and a recommended maximum (8–10) to avoid IP limiting.
Add a new note about the "Concurrent Connections" download setting to multiple translated README files under readme-translations/. The entry documents that downloading files in multiple simultaneous fragments can drastically increase speed, and notes the default of 1 and a recommended maximum of 8–10 to avoid IP throttling. Files updated include translations for AR/DE/ES/FR/HI/ID/IT/JA/PL/PT/RU/TR/ZH.
Add new i18n keys "concurrent_fragments" and "concurrent_fragments_help" to multiple language JSON files (ar, de, en, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh). These expose a UI option for the number of concurrent connections per download with a help string (default: 1, warns about throttling/temporary blocks). Strings were added in English across locales and may need translation.
Introduce a new config key 'concurrent_fragments' with default value 1 in ConfigManager defaults. This exposes a setting to control the number of concurrent fragment downloads/processing, preserving single-fragment behavior unless overridden by user configuration.
Read concurrent_fragments from ConfigManager (defaulting to 1) and forward it into the DownloadThread constructor so the download fragment concurrency setting is propagated to the downloader.
Add a concurrent_fragments parameter to DownloadThread (default 1) and store it as an instance attribute. When building the yt-dlp command, include a -N <concurrent_fragments> option and log the concurrent connections. Also emit finished_signal upon cancellation and on error paths to ensure the UI is notified of thread completion. Minor comment/logging clarifications added around command construction.
Add a "Concurrent Connections" section to DownloadSettingsDialog with a QComboBox (1–20) and help text; initialize from ConfigManager("concurrent_fragments"). Introduce get_concurrent_fragments() to return the chosen value (with a safe fallback to 1) and persist the setting on dialog accept. Uses localized labels and minor styling for the help label.
Add "tab_general", "tab_format", and "tab_file" entries to multiple ytsage/languages/*.json files to provide localized labels for the UI tabs (General, Format, File). Also include a minor formatting/newline fix in en.json.
Reorganize the Download Settings dialog into a SmoothTabWidget with three tabs (General, Format, File) and move existing group sections into corresponding tab layouts. Import QWidget and SmoothTabWidget, increase dialog minimum width from 450 to 550, and add stretches for better layout spacing. Overhaul the dialog stylesheet to restyle tabs, frames, group boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, combo boxes and item views (borders, paddings, colors, radii, hover/selected states). Also style OK/Cancel buttons to match the Custom Options dialog. These changes improve the dialog's visual consistency and UX while preserving existing settings controls and behavior.
Update pyproject.toml project version from 5.0.1b to 5.0.2b to prepare the next beta release. No other code or metadata changes included in this commit.
Update translated README feature lists to include audio normalization (EBU R128). Applied the change across multiple language files in readme-translations (ar, de, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh) to reflect the new audio normalization feature in the project documentation.
Merge two table cells into a single row in multiple translated README files to correct the features table layout (combine "Generic mode" and "Localization in 14 languages"). Affected files: readme-translations/README.{ar,de,es,fr,hi,id,it,ja,pl,pt,ru,tr,zh}. Improves consistency and readability across translations.
Document Audio Normalization (EBU R128) in README and translated READMEs, and add corresponding localization keys and help text in ytsage language files. Updates include README.md, readme-translations (ar,de,es,fr,hi,id,it,ja,pl,pt,ru,tr,zh) and ytsage/languages JSON files to explain the feature and note that normalization requires re-encoding and forcing a specific audio format (e.g. MP3 or M4A).
Introduce an "audio_normalization" option across the app and implement normalization for audio-only downloads. Updates include: add config default (ConfigManager), new language strings, settings UI checkbox + help text and logic to auto-enable force-audio-format when normalization is enabled, and persist the setting. Pass the setting from main app to DownloadThread, and in the downloader force re-encoding to mp3 when necessary and append --postprocessor-args ExtractAudio:-af loudnorm=... to apply EBU R128 normalization. This ensures normalization works reliably (avoids ffmpeg stream-copy errors) and keeps the behavior scoped to ExtractAudio postprocessor.
Add a new "check_app_updates" translation string to multiple language files so the UI can display the option to check for YTSage updates at startup. Updated languages: ar, de, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh.
Introduce a new "check_app_updates" configuration (default: true) to allow users to enable/disable automatic YTSage update checks. Adds a styled checkbox to the Updater tab with getter, loads the setting (defaults to enabled for older configs), and saves it from the custom options dialog. The main update check now respects this setting and will skip checking when disabled. Also include English localization entries for the new UI strings.
Add localized README files and update main README to expose them. Creates readme-translations/*.md (Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Chinese) and adds a language list, README Translations table, and a "Contributing Translations" subsection to README.md so contributors can find and update localized docs.
Rename and restructure the options section: 'Advanced Options' becomes 'Media and Download Options', and new sections 'Output and File Settings', 'Access and Network', and 'Tools and Maintenance' are added. Clarify and reword items (subtitle embedding/merge, save thumbnail/description, trim video, speed limiter, proxy, cookie extraction), and consolidate updater/FFmpeg/yt-dlp/Deno detection and history/tooling notes. Documentation-only cleanup to improve clarity and discoverability of features.
Update README to document the new Optional Generic Mode: add a feature note, usage steps, troubleshooting notes (yt-dlp dependency, cookies/proxies), and a mention in Advanced Options and the features table. Also add a Sponsor anchor, nav link, and badge to the top navigation and About references. (Documentation-only changes)
Introduce a "generic_mode" option to allow validating/downloading from non-YouTube sites and wire it through the UI, config, and validation logic. Key changes:
- Add generic_mode default to ConfigManager and persist setting from DownloadSettingsDialog (checkbox + help text).
- Extend validate_video_url to accept a generic_mode flag and allow any http/https URL with a domain when enabled; pass this flag from Analysis and Download flows.
- Update YTSageApp to load/save generic_mode, update URL placeholder and settings tooltip behavior, and refresh tooltip when settings change.
- Improve robustness in FormatTableMixin: handle None/incorrect types for format_note, abr, resolution, ext, and codec values to avoid type errors and ensure consistent display.
- Add localization entries for generic mode, placeholder, and related help text across multiple language files and update the in-app default localization strings.
These changes enable broader site support via yt-dlp while hardening UI format handling and keeping user settings persistent.
Update AboutDialog link markup to remove explicit font-size and font-weight styles and to unify link color. The author and repo links no longer set font-size, and the sponsor link color was changed from #ea4aaa to #c90000 (and its font-size/weight removed) for consistent appearance across links.
Reorder and restyle README badges for consistent visual grouping. Several badges (downloads, license, supported platforms) were changed to a dark-gray color (1f2937) and grouped together, while GitHub Stars, PyPI version, and Sponsors badges were highlighted in red (c90000). This is a cosmetic update to improve badge contrast and layout.
Move the PyPI version and License (MIT) badges down in the README header to improve grouping and visual flow of project badges (now placed after the GitHub Stars badge).
Add a styled '❤️ Sponsor' GitHub Sponsors link to the About dialog (ytsage_dialogs_base.py). The change creates a QLabel with an external href to the sponsor page, enables openExternalLinks, and appends it to the info layout so the About dialog displays a sponsor call-to-action.
Adds a GitHub Sponsors badge (via shields.io) to the README, linking to https://github.com/sponsors/oop7 to promote project sponsorship. Minor documentation/branding enhancement.
Insert a horizontal rule before the Manual Installation section and update the section summary emoji/text from '🛠️ Manual Installation from Source' to '💻 Manual Installation from Source' for improved readability and consistency in the README.
Insert a 'Download Latest Release' callout under the Pre-built Executables section and remove a duplicate link later in the README so there's a single prominent release download link.
Add collapsible (details/summary) sections with step-by-step installation and upgrade instructions: pip upgrade for updating, Windows installer/portable/FFmpeg options, Linux packages (deb/rpm/AppImage/Flatpak) with example commands, and macOS DMG/zip steps plus a troubleshooting note. Improves clarity and discoverability of install/update procedures for users.
Normalize PyPI's version string (e.g. "2026.2.21") to the zero-padded GitHub tag format (e.g. "2026.02.21") before building the update target. The code splits a three-part version and pads the month/day components with two digits so stable@<tag> matches yt-dlp GitHub tagging.
Update CI_CD_README.md to list the Windows installer outputs produced by the workflow: `YTSage-v{version}-Setup.exe` (standard installer) and `YTSage-v{version}-ffmpeg-Setup.exe` (FFmpeg bundle installer). This documents that the pipeline generates both portable zips and installer executables for Windows.
Add unofficial translation files for Chinese Simplified, Hindi and Indonesian under setup-scripts/Languages/Unofficial. Also update Setup-windows.iss and Setup-windows-ffmpeg.iss to incorporate related installer changes.
Strip the 🔄 emoji from the localized loading string to avoid rendering issues and use the cleaned text for the QLabel. Tweak the label styling by changing the color from #cccccc to #888888 and removing the italic font-style for a more consistent appearance.
Add open_logs and logs_tooltip localization entries across multiple language JSON files (ar, de, en, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh) so the About/System Info UI can expose an action to open the application logs folder. Also add an "about" section to ytsage/utils/ytsage_localization.py with default entries (open_logs, logs_tooltip, refresh). This wires the logs-folder UI text into the localization system.
Add an 'Open Logs' button to the About dialog that opens the app log folder via QDesktopServices/QUrl, ensures the log directory exists, and logs warnings/errors. Include minimal styling and a handler (open_logs_folder) that uses APP_LOG_DIR and the logger. Also update settings dialog imports to include QUrl/QDesktopServices and APP_LOG_DIR. Simplify the bug report template to instruct users to open logs from the About dialog and attach ytsage.log / ytsage_error.log.
Introduce a new GitHub Actions workflow (build-pypi.yml) to build Python Wheel and Source Distribution and upload them as release assets. Integrate the PyPI job into the release-all workflow and update .github/CI_CD_README.md to document the PyPI artifacts and the new build-pypi.yml entry. The workflow uses Python 3.13, installs build tooling, runs build_release.py, and uploads dist/* via softprops/action-gh-release.
Add 'app_updates_title' and 'check_beta_updates' translation keys to language files (ar, de, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh). These localized strings support the app updates settings UI (including an option to receive beta updates) and keep translations consistent with the existing auto-update-related entries.
Introduce an opt-in beta updates feature: add a styled "Receive Beta Updates" checkbox in the Updater UI with i18n strings, load/save logic in the custom options dialog, and a default config key (check_beta_updates=false).
Add _fetch_github_beta_version to the update thread to query GitHub releases (selecting the highest tag) and emit update_available for newer beta builds. When beta checking is enabled, the thread will perform the GitHub beta check and return early to avoid conflicting with the PyPI check. This enables users to opt into preview releases safely.
Add Inno Setup compilation to the Windows CI: the workflow now installs Inno Setup via choco, adjusts PATH, and runs iscc to compile two installers (standard and -ffmpeg) using /DMyAppVersion,/DMyAppExeName and /DSourceDir, placing outputs into repo/artifacts and failing the job on non-zero exit. Also add two new Inno Setup scripts in setup-scripts/: Setup-windows.iss and Setup-windows-ffmpeg.iss. The scripts include metadata, multi-language support, file/icon/registry/run entries, and Pascal code to create or update the user's ytsage_config.json language setting; the -ffmpeg script adds an optional task to append the app folder to the user's PATH.
Stop storing result_data["all_formats"] on the mixin and instead call update_format_table(result_data["all_formats"]). Replaces the previous filter_formats() call so the format table is populated directly from the fresh analysis result, avoiding reliance on a separate self.all_formats attribute.
Update README badges: change the PyPI badge URL to the official PyPI project page (pypi.org) and add a 'Supported Platforms' badge indicating cross-platform support (linked to releases). This improves badge accuracy and highlights platform compatibility in the project README.
Add a "reset" button label and new "filename_format" + "filename_format_help" entries to multiple locale JSON files (ar, de, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, zh). The help text documents supported yt-dlp output template variables (%(title)s, %(uploader)s, %(upload_date)s, %(resolution)s, %(id)s, %(ext)s) so the UI can accept a custom output filename format.
Update README text to reflect UI label changes: 'Force Output Format' now points to 'Download Settings → Output Format Settings', and 'Download History' instructs users to click the 'History' button. Improves accuracy of guidance in the docs.
Bump help text font-size from 10px to 11px in DownloadSettingsDialog for improved readability. Updated style for force format, audio format, and filename format help labels in ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_dialogs/ytsage_dialogs_settings.py.
Add a Reset button next to the filename format input so users can restore the default pattern. The filename input and reset button are grouped in a QHBoxLayout; the button is fixed width (70) and sets the field back to the default %(title)s_%(resolution)s.%(ext)s. Also add the corresponding i18n key (buttons.reset -> "Reset") to en.json.
Add a README entry describing the new Output Filename Format setting under Download Settings, showing example variables such as %(title)s, %(uploader)s, and %(resolution)s so users can customize downloaded filenames.
Introduce a new filename_format setting and UI to control yt-dlp output templates. ConfigManager now includes a default filename_format (%(title)s_%(resolution)s.%(ext)s). The DownloadSettingsDialog exposes a text input and help text for the format and saves the value to ConfigManager. DownloadThread now accepts a filename_format argument and uses it when building output templates for single videos and playlists. YTSageApp reads the config and passes the filename format into the download thread. Added corresponding English language strings.
Standardize and simplify analysis/status strings across multiple language files by removing percent-based prefixes and verbose phrasing, adding concise messages with trailing ellipses. This updates localization for ar, de, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, pl, pt, ru, tr, and zh (ytsage/languages/*.json) to make progress messages cleaner and consistent for both regular and ytdlp-related steps.
Update English UI strings in ytsage/languages/en.json to remove progress percentages and the repeated "Analyzing" prefix, replacing them with concise action messages (e.g., "Extracting basic info...", "Loading thumbnail..."). This makes status messages shorter and more consistent across regular and ytdlp-related entries without changing functionality.
Emit progress updates during URL analysis and simulate gradual progress for long-running yt-dlp operations. Added QTimer import and a progress_update Signal on AnalysisThread, with emits at multiple analysis milestones (e.g. 15, 30, 60, 70, 85, 90, 92, 95, 100). In AnalysisMixin introduced _analysis_timer and _fake_progress, connected thread progress to _handle_analysis_progress, and implemented a _update_fake_progress timer that slowly advances the progress bar between real updates. Timers are stopped on real progress, completion or error and the UI progress is reset appropriately to improve UX during long extraction steps.
Introduce check_ytdlp_deno_integration() in ytsage_yt_dlp.py to detect Deno integration by running `yt-dlp --verbose` and scanning debug output for JS runtimes containing "deno" (with timeout and logging/fallback).
Add SystemInfoThread (QThread) in ytsage_dialogs_base.py to collect yt-dlp, ffmpeg and deno presence, versions, paths, cache timestamps and integration status in the background, emitting the gathered info via info_ready. AboutDialog now starts the thread in update_system_info() and populates the UI asynchronously via _populate_system_info(), showing a small "+ yt-dlp" integration indicator next to the Deno status when detected. Refactors usage of version/cache lookups to use the thread-provided info dictionary.
Add streaming progress support to Deno upgrades and hook it into the GUI. upgrade_deno() now accepts an optional progress_callback and uses subprocess.Popen to read stdout line-by-line (line-buffered, utf-8, errors replaced), collecting output and invoking the callback as lines arrive. Added DenoUpdateThread (QThread) with finished/progress/error signals and replaced the previous background thread usage in the updater UI with this QThread. GUI slots strip ANSI escapes, truncate long messages, and update status text; buttons are re-enabled on finish/error. Improved logging and error handling for upgrade failures.
Add PySide6.QtDBus to the list of included PySide6 modules and stop removing DBus-related artifacts during the macOS packaging step. The changes remove deletions of the platforminputcontexts plugin and libqpdf/libqsvg/libqsvgicon files, and remove QtDBus from the list of Qt modules treated as bloat. This preserves D-Bus support and related SVG/PDF rendering plugins required at runtime.
Add PySide6.QtDBus and PySide6.QtSvg to the list of required modules and remove PySide6.QtSvg from the secondary module list. Stop removing the svg plugin, platforminputcontexts and svg-related image/icon libraries during the cleanup pass (only libqpdf.so is still removed). These changes ensure QtSvg and D-Bus components are preserved in the Linux build and prevent stripping SVG-related functionality.
Update the Linux CI AppImage build to copy the cx_Freeze output directly into AppDir root (so 'lib' sits next to the 'ytsage' binary) to avoid ModuleNotFoundError: encodings. Fix the .desktop Exec path, add .DirIcon, and replace the previous symlink with an AppRun script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH and execs the bundled binary.
Replace the cx_Freeze bdist_appimage step with an explicit manual AppImage build to avoid cx_Freeze rebuilding and untrimming artifacts. The workflow now downloads appimagetool, prepares an AppDir (AppDir/usr/bin), copies the trimmed build contents (preserving cx_Freeze relative paths), installs desktop/icon metadata, creates an AppRun symlink, and runs appimagetool with ARCH=x86_64 and --appimage-extract-and-run to avoid FUSE issues in CI. The rest of the job (e.g. RPM build) remains unchanged.
Remove the separate bdist_dmg build step and instead package the generated .app in-place: create a .app.zip and build a UDZO .dmg using a temporary dmg_stage (copy .app, add Applications symlink, run hdiutil). Also remove the previous fallback that searched for prebuilt DMGs and change missing .app handling to error+exit. Artifacts are written to artifacts/YTSage-v${version}-${ARCH_SUFFIX}.{app.zip,dmg}.
Replace complex multi-dir detection with a single find+while loop to identify library dirs and verify Python lib layout (asyncio/PySide6/ytsage). Consolidate cleanup steps: recursively remove PySide6 translations, normalize plugin path detection and remove specific plugin folders/files via find, and simplify removal of unwanted Qt modules using broader find patterns. Remove some verbose checks and add a final sanity listing of remaining lib contents. These changes make the trimming more robust to different .app layouts and reduce duplicate logic.
Update the macOS build workflow to robustly locate and clean multiple library directories inside the .app bundle. Instead of a single lib path, the script now finds all 'lib' dirs containing PySide6 or ytsage and iterates over them. Cleanup expanded to handle alternate PySide6 paths (PySide6/Qt/translations, PySide6/Qt/plugins), more plugin/imageformat variants (.dylib/.so), additional Qt library name patterns (Qt6*, framework-style names) and Qt6DBus, and removal of common build tools/modules. Adds logging and a warning when no library dirs are found.
Consolidate and harden post-build cleanup by targeting the build's lib directory (lib_dir) instead of running broad finds across build_dir. Removes screenshots, PySide6 translations, specific Qt plugins and plugin files, and various Qt6 shared libraries (Web, Pdf, Qml, Quick, VirtualKeyboard, OpenGL) to reduce bundle size. Also removes common build tools/modules (setuptools, wheel, pkg_resources, _distutils_hack, curses, _pyrepl) and adds explicit logging and a warning if lib_dir is missing. Simplifies and centralizes cleanup logic for more predictable and efficient trimming of Linux artifacts.
Enhance the .github workflow that trims macOS .app bundles by robustly detecting the library directory (with fallbacks) and performing deeper cleanup. Removes screenshots, Qt translations, many Qt plugin folders, specific image/icon libs, bulk Qt6 libraries, and several Python build/tool modules; adapts for macOS dylib naming. Adds logging and a warning if the lib directory cannot be determined to avoid accidental deletes.
Add -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue to Get-ChildItem calls and add a check for a lib\PySide6 folder to remove matching Qt DLLs there as well. This prevents failures when no files match the patterns and ensures duplicate Qt DLLs packaged under PySide6 are cleaned up. Applied to both DLL-cleanup sections of the Windows build workflow.
Refactor Windows build cleanup to use a dedicated $libDir and more aggressively prune unused PySide6/Qt files. Replaces direct $distDir references with $libDir for lib content and removes screenshots, PDBs, translations, many plugin folders, specific image/icon plugins (qpdf/qsvg/qsvgicon), platform input contexts, and common bulky Qt DLL patterns. Also removes several build tools/unused Python modules (setuptools, wheel, pkg_resources, _distutils_hack, curses, _pyrepl). Applied the same changes to both YTSage and YTSage-FFmpeg packaging steps to reduce bundle size and noise, and improved log messages for removed items.
Adjust build-linux CI to produce smaller, self-contained AppImages: enable silent build output, add zip_include_packages so key libs (PySide6, shiboken6, requests, PIL, packaging) are packaged, and add extra excludes (pydoc, doctest, email). Use python -OO for optimized bytecode. Expand post-build trimming to remove screenshots, Qt translations, unused PySide6 plugins and other Qt artifacts (Qt6Web*, Qt6Pdf*) with informative logging. These changes reduce package size and avoid shipping unnecessary runtime components.
Improve macOS CI packaging by trimming unnecessary files from the built .app and adjusting build options. Changes include:
- Enable cx_Freeze silent build and run Python with -OO for bdist_mac.
- Add zip_include_packages to ensure key packages are bundled inside zip distributions.
- Exclude additional stdlib modules (pydoc, doctest, email) to reduce size.
- New workflow step to locate the generated .app and remove screenshots, Qt translations, unused PySide6 plugins and other Qt artifacts (Qt6Web*, Qt6Pdf*), with safer path detection and logging.
- Remove noisy post-build directory listings and simplify DMG handling/log messages; make .app and .dmg discovery more robust.
These changes aim to produce smaller, cleaner artifacts and more reliable CI packaging for macOS builds.
Add build/time optimizations and post-build trimming for Windows CI. Enables silent cxfreeze output and adds zip_include_packages (PySide6, shiboken6, requests, PIL, packaging) so selected packages are included in the zip; excludes additional stdlib modules (pydoc, doctest, email) to reduce bundle size. Switches build invocation to python -OO for extra optimization and adds dedicated PowerShell steps (for both standard and FFmpeg builds) that remove screenshots, PDB debug files, unused Qt translations/plugins and extra Qt DLLs (Qt6Web*/Qt6Pdf*) to shrink artifacts and remove unnecessary files before packaging.
Introduce SmoothTabWidget and a FadingStackedWidget to provide cross-fade transitions between tabs. Added ytsage/gui/ytsage_smooth_tab_widget.py which implements a QTabBar + FadingStackedWidget (default 300ms fade) and overlay-based fade logic. Updated ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_dialogs/ytsage_dialogs_custom.py to use SmoothTabWidget instead of QTabWidget and adjusted the stylesheet selector to target the new content frame (#tabContent) so existing styles continue to apply.
Add a safe blurred-overlay flow for modal dialogs by implementing run_dialog_with_blur and _apply_blur_to_pixmap on YTSageApp. The new flow captures a window screenshot, generates a blurred/dimmed pixmap via a QGraphicsScene + QGraphicsBlurEffect, shows it in an overlay QLabel with a fade-in, runs the dialog, and then removes the overlay.
Replace many direct dialog.exec() calls with run_dialog_with_blur(...) across the main GUI (download settings, about, history, playlist selection, custom options, cookie login, ffmpeg check, time range, setup success dialogs, etc.). Also add imports required for pixmap/graphics handling.
Make animate_widget_fade_in usage safer by checking for the method before calling it and falling back to setVisible(True) for format table and thumbnails to avoid QPainter/graphics-effect conflicts. Small comment/cleanup in fade-in/out methods.
Update ytsage/gui/ytsage_stylesheet.py to add explicit padding for various QPushButton:pressed rules (and QPushButton:checked:pressed) across multiple style blocks. These changes unify the visual spacing and touch feedback when buttons are pressed, ensuring consistent pressed-state layout and appearance.
Introduce a shake animation to visually indicate invalid inputs and wire it into validation/error flows. Changes: import QPoint; add animate_widget_shake(QWidget) implementation that uses QPropertyAnimation on widget.pos with keyframes; call the animation when URL/path/format validations fail and replace some direct status_label updates with set_status_message_animated. Updated files: ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_main.py and ytsage/gui/ytsage_gui_analysis.py.
Hide the thumbnail QLabel before assigning the pixmap and trigger animate_widget_fade_in to smoothly fade the thumbnail into view. Keeps existing exception logging for thumbnail processing.
Use animated show/hide for playlist widgets and harden fade animations. Replace direct setVisible signal handlers with lambdas that call set_widget_visible_animated, and add set_widget_visible_animated to route to fade-in/out. Fade methods now stop opposing animations, reuse existing QGraphicsOpacityEffect when present, preserve current opacity as start values, and set effect opacity when creating a new effect. Also catch possible RuntimeError when stopping animations and keep animation references on widgets to avoid premature GC.
Make the format table invisible while it's populated and filtered to avoid visual artifacts, then animate its appearance with animate_widget_fade_in after initial filtering. This ensures a smoother UI when the table is first built.
Introduce smooth UI transitions by adding opacity-based animations. Import QGraphicsOpacityEffect and add animate_widget_fade_in, animate_widget_fade_out, and set_status_message_animated to cross-fade status text and fade buttons in/out. Update signal handlers and download flow to use the new animated status setter and fade methods instead of direct setText/setVisible calls. Keep animation references on widgets to avoid premature GC and remove effects after fade-out.
Initialize an error buffer and collect yt-dlp "ERROR:" output lines during direct command runs. When the process exits non‑zero, emit a more informative error using the last two captured error lines (falling back to the generic return-code message if none were captured). Also ensure the buffer is present before appending and keep the existing delay/cleanup flow.
Moved PySide6.QtNetwork from the excludes to the includes list in build workflows for Linux, macOS, and Windows. This ensures the QtNetwork module is bundled during packaging.
Changed the icon installation path from assets/branding/icons/icon.png to branding/icons/icon.png in Linux packaging steps to reflect updated directory structure.
Corrected script path to 'ytsage_entry.py', updated icon path, and fixed configuration for including system libraries and binary excludes in the build-linux.yml workflow.
Adds a MANIFEST.in file to ensure README.md, LICENSE, pyproject.toml, and all files in ytsage/assets and ytsage/languages are included in the package distribution.
Moved all files from src/gui/ to ytsage/gui/ and updated import statements to use relative imports within the new package structure. This improves modularity and prepares the codebase for distribution as a proper Python package.
Renamed 'src/core' to 'ytsage/core' and updated all internal imports to use relative paths. This improves package structure and ensures correct module resolution after the directory move.
Moved utility modules from src/utils/ to ytsage/utils/ and updated all relative imports accordingly. Adjusted docstring usage examples and fixed a path reference in LocalizationManager to reflect the new directory structure.
Switch pip cache and install to use pyproject.toml instead of requirements.txt. Update cx_Freeze setup to use a new entry point, adjust included packages and asset paths to reflect new project structure, and update icon path.
Switches dependency installation from requirements.txt to pyproject.toml and updates pip cache key accordingly. Refactors cx_Freeze setup to use a new entry point, adjusts included files and paths to match the updated project structure, and updates icon file references.
