looking for two gui accessible applications ClipGrab

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi Ibrahim,

installing snap packages needs the software snapd that I don't and won't 
ship
in Slint, sorry.

On the the other hand I have failed to build ClipGrab from source on Slint
because our compiler suite is too old.

On a positive note Slackware-15RC2 is out, so hopefully Slackware 15 will be
released in a a no-so-distant future (not-so-distant=a few months). Then 
I will
rebase Slint on Slackware 15 and there will be no issue building ClipGrab as
any other recent software version.

Meanwhile as I wrote you can use youtube-dl on the command line.

I also plan to provide its successor yt-dl no later that tomorrow, among a
batch that will also upgrade ffmpeg, vlc, mpv, upgrading associated 
codecs and
adding a few ones.

Cheers,
Didier
