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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
