Feature description

I would like an option that if I download videos/audio it would create a new folder for the channel(if there isn't one that already exists) and put all the videos/audio that I download from that channel in the folder

Why do you want this feature?

Why? For order and for it to feel more clean

Then you'd have a bunch of folders, with only one file in each folder. I don't see how that improves usability. You now have n audio files, and n folders, except you have to go through an additional filesystem layer to get to what you want.

If you had asked for per-channel folders, that would still make sense, because some automatic file organisation would occur.

Please clarify your request.

I like to add .lrc file to my songs(audio downloads) but if I add them to an already bloated folder (I download a ton of songs) it just makes it more messy but when every song (or every artist songs) are in one folder it's much cleaner and easier to navigate and add .lrc files

I would highly recommend not keeping your audio download folder as your music folder. If your download folder is Music/Newpipe, then use Songs or something for your audio files.

I only download songs from newpipe so it doesn't really matter, then is doing folders by channels as you suggested above is also out of question?

[opusforlife2]

No, that's a much better option. You can change the title and description.

Hi, I was just about to make this feature request. I agree that this might impact usability for people who only download stuff rarely or from diverse sources leading to lots of directories.

However, it makes sense for users who download more than they stream. For example I've limited bandwidth & data volume, so everything from my subscription list gets downloaded for later consumption, leading to videos from different creators all dumped into the root of the download directory.

What I'd propose would be (if this ever happens), to maybe keep this toggle/feature optional. People who heavily rely on downloader side of the app could then benefit from the automatic sorting of files.
Thanks :-)

@Turhvjbufv Why close?

[Turhvjbufv]

Currently no new features are accepted am I wrong?

[opusforlife2]

By that logic we would have closed all issues en masse by now. Feature requests stay open indefinitely unless there's a specific reason to close them.

Nice 👍 thanks

I know this is old, but the reason I would absolutely LOVE this option is so I could add each folder as it's own individual virtual feed in my podcast app with proper tagging.
