Main Window
Its here you should be most of the time and where videos are uploaded from.
If you have authenticated with YouTube and the authentication is still valid when the program starts you can see the name of your channel all videos will be uploaded to in the window title.
The program will since version 1.4.0 check for updates on startup. If an update is found a popup will appear saking if you want to update. The updater can be configured and started manually from the settings window.
Located at the very top of the window you can find the following things:
A button that opens the preset window. Presets are a key feature of Stekeblads Video Uploader and allows you to quickly add video information to multiple videos.
A button to open the Settings window that contains (more than settings) also some helpful links, for example to this wiki.
It appears a progress indicator next to the settings button while presets is being applied to videos.
The following buttons and fields are always visible in this window
Pick files to upload: Opens the choose files dialog there you select one or more video files to upload. All video files that was selected will then be added to the area to the left of the button, if non-video files was selected a alert dialog will show up stating that one or more of the selected files is not a video file and they will not be added. If the list to the left is not empty then new videos are added, the old will be replaced by the new.
Select a preset: The select a preset drop down will contain a list of all your saved preset, select the one you want to apply for the selected videos or leave it blank. Presets can be added, edited and deleted in the presets window.
Automatic numbering: If your preset uses the $(ep) tag in the title you can use the automatic numbering feature by entering the number to start on in the box. Then you later press apply preset "$(ep)" in the title will be replaced by a number. The first video in the list to the left will get the number in the automatic numbering field and all the following will be numbered one higher then the previous. If a preset is selected and it has the $(ep) tag, and the automatic numbering field is empty the numbering will start at one (1). If no preset is selected or the preset does not have the $(ep) tag then the value in the automatic numbering field will be ignored
Apply preset: If no preset is selected then all selected videos will be moved to the upload area with their filename as title and all other details will be unknown. If a preset is selected then the title, description, video tags and everything else from the preset will be added to the selected videos. If the preset contains any tags they will be transformed. The order of the added videos is the same in the selected files list.

Before any uploads are stopped the user there will be a confirmation dialog asking if you are sure you want to abort all uploads with a yes/no choice.
Abort All And Clear Uploads Area: Shows a confirmation dialog asking if the user is sure about aborting all uploads and clearing the upload area. If yes is selected, all started uploads will be stopped followed by removing all videos from the list. Useful if the wrong preset accidentally was used.
