- Various UI/workflow enhancements

---

## 🚀 What's New in v3.2.0

### 🔹 Character Filter by Post Comments (Beta)

- New "Comments" scope for the 'Filter by Character(s)' feature.

**How it works:**
1. Checks if any **filenames** match your character filter. If yes → downloads the post (skips comment check).
2. If no filename matches → scans the **post's comments**. If matched → downloads the post.

- Prioritizes filename-matched character name for folder naming, otherwise uses comment match.
- Cycle through filter scopes with the `Filter: [Scope]` button next to the character input.

### ✂️ Remove Specific Words from Filenames

- Input field: `"✂️ Remove Words from name"`
- Enter comma-separated words (e.g., `patreon, kemono, [HD], _final`)
- These are removed from filenames (case-insensitive) to improve organization.

---

### 🧩 Multi-part Downloads for Large Files

- Toggle multi-part downloads (OFF by default).
- Improves speed on large files (e.g., >10MB videos, zips).
- Falls back to single-stream on failure.
- Toggle via `Multi-part: ON/OFF` in the log header.

---

### 🧠 UI and Workflow Enhancements

- **Updated Welcome Tour**  
  Shows on first launch, covers all new and core features.

- **Smarter Cancel/Reset**  
  Cancels active tasks and resets UI — but retains URL and Download Directory fields.

- **Simplified Interface**  
  - Removed "Skip Current File" and local API server for a cleaner experience.

---

### 📁 Refined File & Duplicate Handling

- **Duplicate Filenames**  
  Adds numeric suffix (`file.jpg`, `file_1.jpg`, etc.).  
  Removed the "Duplicate" subfolder system.

- **Efficient Hash Check**  
  Detects and skips duplicate files within the same session (before writing to disk).

- **Better Temp File Cleanup**  
  Cleans up `.part` files — especially if duplicate or compressed post-download.
