Takeout is still the way a subscription list arrives. These are the
things it cannot do.
Hovering a channel in the sidebar reveals a delete, sitting where the
count is — the least useful thing on that row at the moment you reach
for it. It asks first, and says what goes: the channel, its videos, and
how many downloaded files will be deleted. It also says plainly that
YouTube is not touched; only this app forgets the channel.
A + beside the cog adds one channel from any link — its page, its
@handle, or one of its videos. The channel id and name are read off the
page, which is the same pair the CSV carries, and the feed is fetched
straight away so it is not sitting there empty.
A menu bar item acts on whatever a browser is showing without leaving
it: save that video, or subscribe to its channel, while it plays on.
The address comes from whichever running browser has a YouTube page —
asked with AppleScript, guarded so no browser is launched to answer,
and reported honestly when macOS has not granted the permission yet.
Answers come back as notifications rather than by raising the window.
Saving a video is not subscribing to its channel, so a channel can now
exist as a parent row without being a subscription: out of the sidebar,
skipped by refreshes, and left alone when a CSV import replaces the
subscription list.
Also removes a stale duplicate of the file header that had been sitting
inside run()'s setup block. Items are legal inside a block, so it
compiled and nobody noticed.
Window chrome: titleBarStyle Overlay (Transparent left the native bar in
place, white in dark mode, with a dead strip beneath it). The app now
paints that strip itself, so it matches the page background.
Player: prev/next through the feed, a full-screen button, a spinner
while a stream resolves, Open on YouTube on downloaded videos too, and
the description collapsed behind a disclosure.
Downloads default to Best, which reaches real 4K — above 1080p YouTube
serves VP9/AV1, verified to play natively in WKWebView here. Audio stays
pinned to AAC because Opus in MP4 would be silent. A Compatible setting
keeps the old 1080p H.264 behaviour. Files are now named
'<ISO date> - <title> [<id>].mp4'.
Watch progress is recorded and drawn under thumbnails like YouTube's,
and reopening a video resumes where it left off.
Tiles clamp every text line to a fixed height so they share a baseline,
and the search field no longer clips its placeholder.
Fixes a Picture-in-Picture leak: WebKit kept a detached video playing
after the player closed, so a second video could play over the first
with no way to stop it. Every exit path now tears the element down.
