There are other media downloaders, Gallery-DL and YT DLP, that can take a text document of links and use that as a download source. Since the GUI already takes in the download, it sounds like it may be possible to use that to read from a list of links.

Apologies - it looks like there was a UI overhaul between the prebuilt binaries and the source. It may be slightly harder to get this feature implemented now.

I think it's doable, i may make it so that it can take path to txt file as url or text file could be dragged and dropped into url/search field, then parse it for downloading !

The path to a text file as the URL would be super great, from a user standpoint.

The latest development branch should support this ! Can you check if it's working ?
