When using the program without any kind of verbose/debugging, the only way of knowing when the downloading & conversion has ended is looking for the finished file in the download directory.
This is not intuitive, so I suggest some kind of alert or notification that the download/conversion has ended, and also the "download" button to be "locked" (grayed out) until the end of the process.
The icing of the cake would be adding some kind of progress bar, but that's for another ticket.
When selecting a preset with a download path that does not exist, the program throws an error:
And closes.
I think this could be handled more gracefully; it would be nice if the download paths of the presets were checked upon selecting them.
Simply warning the user of the cause of the error would be enough.
Right now, Media Downloader can only process one download at a time, freezing while doing so.
I understand that adding support for concurrent downloads is a complex matter, but I think there could be a compromise.
You could, instead, open Media Downloader as many times as videos you want to download at the same time.
However, this does not work; if I open two sessions of MD, and start downloading with both, one of them will freeze/crash when starting the reencode process.
WHAT I THINK IS HAPPENING:
For what I know about the way MD works, this seems to be due to the usage of the "Filenames.tmp" file, that stores the names of the files to be converted. In the use case described above, the tmp file is first written by the first download, and then overwritten by the second.
At this point, the first download to end will be recoded with the name stored in the tmp file, and the second download to end will have no tmp file to read, and probably throw an internal error that freezes the program.
If we want to add multi-session support, this behaviour must be changed, either by creating an unique "Filenames.tmp" file for each MD session, or doing without this file altogether.
If you try to download, for example, the same video twice, the program fails to communicate so; it simply does nothing (wich is good, too).
I suggest the program warns you when trying to overwrite a file.
Right now, all the texts are "hardcoded".
It would be nice to have the texts in files (xml, for example), so that different languages can be created without changing the code.
Once the feature is added, I could add an English translation.
