Now working on:

• I.1

0. User requests

---

1. Give an option to keep old files of generated links (i.e., no over-write).

2. Give an optin to suppress the warning regarding 'Enqueue for Download'. (done!)

3. Mention "BYTubeD" in the error report request message. (done!)

I. Issues

1. onUnload is not called when qsMgr window is closed.
   • Investigate qsMgr.finishUp(terminate), qsMgr.alreadyFinished

II. Minor Changes

1. Handle "file is null" in line# 525 of chrome://bytubed/content/queueingStatusManager.js (done!)

2. Subtitle destination directory

3. Give a better message when 'directory creation fails'.

4. Handle "win is null" in queueingStatusManager and selectionManager (done!)

III. Major Features

1. localization (1.1.2) (done!)

2. Ressurect dead request links; Alternatives for this are:

   • Implement a simple download manager
   • Implement resurrect(download_links_file) as follows:
     • prereq: write all the relevant preferences into the download_links_file on each invocation.
     • use the preferences in download_links_file to regenerate links.

IV. Code Improvements

1. Use iccb for iitk.cse.cs213.bytubed everywhere. (done)

2. Code Cleanup

   • organize global functions into logical modules and put them in different singleton objects
     • file operations
     • XUL operations
     • subtitle operations
     • general utils
     • addon management

3. Document every function

4. Logging

5. Modularize, instead of using namespaces.
