Components
The component I want to suggest here is to add a thumbnail in YTD downloader that will appear before downloading the file.
Proposal
I once contributed a suggestion about YTD before. Also I have already cited there what I want from YTD downloader. And up to now I am still using this software to download in youtube.
As my personal opinion, it is better for YDT to have a file thumbnail appearing on its window. Like me, I can easily remember things when I see them. I am more on a visual learner other than any learner type. Sometimes during downloading, I have a feeling that the URL I am posting on YTD downloader is not correct. The only thing how to make sure it is correct is by going back to youtube page and review the URL. As for my side, I know it bothers me doing like this.
What I am proposing for YTD downloader is to add a thumbnail on its download panel. This thumbnail must be the same with the thumbnail use in youtube. For this, users can review the video to download by looking at the thumbnail which is for me is more convenient.
Mockups / Examples
Here are the example on how the suggestion will work.
YTD need the video URL to be able to download. I have posted here a sample URL from youtube.
If the suggestion will be implemented, it will look like this.
Benefits
Here are the benefits;
- Users easily identify if the video they want to download is correct.
- It will make YTD downloader window looks friendly to user because of the graphical interface.
