FEATURES

• Added gallery capture: as it was the case with version 6.3.3, it is now possible to capture galleries of images and links embedded into a page. By default, you need to manually analyze the page from the add-on main panel for the potential galleries to be discovered, or you can change the setup to perform the analyze automatically whenever a page is loaded.
• Added right-click download commands: right-clicking into a page gives access to a Video DownloadHelper menu. From there you can request the download of a video playing in the page, or perform some top-level commands like opening the extensions settings or requesting the analyze of the page.
• Added hotkeys: you can now start the default action on the top-most detected video variant in the page by pressing ALT+SHIFT+D. Also keys ALT+SHIFT+Y opens the add-on main panel.
• Blacklist edition: it is now possible to edit the blacklist from the settings, in order to remove an entry that has been erroneously added, or add new ones manually. (Blacklisting allows to ignore some video detections like ads based on their origin domain)
• Settings reset: from the add-on settings, you can now reset changed values to the original settings.
• Display ETA in downloads: when displaying the running downloads section, you can now see the progress percentage and how long it takes to complete.
• Download directory setup user interface: for companion app downloads, you now have a user interface to select the download directory.

FIXES

• Navigating YouTube pages: following a video link within a YouTube page caused the newly detected title and thumbnail to be mis-reported as the previous hit (Thanks Coco for reporting this).
• YouTube videos containing double quote character: the title was then wrongly reported
• Multi-line details values: when using the Details action, property value was displayed on a single line
• Fixed download of encrypted HLS streams using key relative URLs (a zero-day bug)
• No error reported on user download cancellation
