- New setting: snap windows to screen edges
- Added the ability to drag a link from a web browser and drop it onto the app window
- Bandcamp albums containing a single song are now treated as playlists
- Bandcamp favicons are now properly extracted
- Selecting a single format in the formats window updates the column values in the queue

- Added explicit proxy support
- Listbox checkboxes now scale with the system scale factor

New in ytdlp-interface 2.3.1 (May 28, 2023)

- fixed a crash when right-clicking on the output window after removing all queue items
- fixed a crash when starting a queue item with two or more concurrent downloads

New in ytdlp-interface 2.3.0 (May 27, 2023)
- Changes:
- made the Website column customizable: can display icon, text, both, or neither (hidden)
- removed the Adjust window width option (the Media title column is adjusted instead)
- windows with auto-height (like the formats window) can no longer overlap with the taskbar
- the queue now properly auto-scrolls when dragging an item to the top/bot boundaries
- yt-dlp can now be updated from the nightly release channel
- the format selection window now allows multiple audio formats to be selected
- added a context menu with Paste to the custom arguments textbox
- added Copy command only to the output window context menu
- added a tooltip to the "preferred container" settings
- The Media title column is now fully flexible, allowing the window to shrink to its minimum size without a horizontal scrollbar ever appearing in the queue. In other words, whenever a previously hidden column is enabled, the Media title column shrinks to make room for it, and when the window width changes, the Media title column also changes accordingly. I think this is probably the best way to avoid having to manually resize the columns. And with the new ability to display only an icon in the Website column, or to hide that column altogether, it's now possible to have all or almost all columns enabled, and still have a reasonably small window.
