First, I'd like to thank you for creating one of the best GUI wrappers for yt-dlp. Although this project appears to be very stale, I thought I'd document a few ideas. Maybe someday I can get time to implement them myself... :-)
Give the ability in the main interface to type in a Custom Prefix to the files when they are added - including a subfolder. For example: "Group 1 -- ", "Batch2\" or "LowQuailty\Group1 --". These values could be retained so the last several can be selected in a combo box with a drop down.
In the format dropdown add additional built-in presets (starting as hidden for simplicity) like ones for playlists on this page: https://www.ditig.com/yt-dlp-cheat-sheet
Add the option to add custom command line parameter presets to the format dropdown e.g. --recode-video mp4, best[height<=720], or --no-playlist SHORTS_URL. These presets could simply appear as the actual command line parameters, but the option to assign a custom name to the preset would be useful to shorten the text i.e. --no-playlist SHORTS_URL could be named No short clips. Although each combination of options could be saved as a separate preset, expanding to two or more dropdowns would allow different options to applied separately (e.g. a Playlist dropdown and a Format dropdown or simply two dropdowns with all presets available). Alternatively, the dropdown would allow multiple options to be selected (i.e. with checkboxes or Ctrl-select).
Add a drop down for the name format so different naming styles can be saved and switched quickly. This could be a static list (e.g. in the options dialog there would be three separate entries for naming format) or dynamic (allowing multiple custom values to added to a list).
Display the URL for the selected item in the Download list in a text box below the Downlist where it can be selected and copied with a button to quickly copy the URL to the clipboard or to the Enter URLs below box.
Display the full file path for the selected item in the Download list in a text box below the Download list where it can be selected and copied with a button to open/reveal the containing folder i.e. locating file in Windows).
Display the output from yt-dlp for an individual download item - either as a tooltip when hovering over the Status column and/or in a separate text box below the Download list (for the selected item). This would be most useful to view the Warning message for a specific item without having to search the log output to locate the corresponding message.
Add additional columns to the Download list like domain, folder, date, time, Custom Prefix, and media information like duration, resolution, codec, etc.
Add buttons to Clear Completed or Clear All downloads from the Download list.
Add the option to list available formats instead of downloading the URL.
If I had to pick just one, it would be the first - entering a filename prefix on the main interface.
