Summary

Allow the existing TUI Save action to use [downloads].directory instead of always writing to ~/Music/cliamp. This lets users keep saved audio on an external drive or in their existing music directory. An absent or empty setting retains the current default.

The setting covers Ctrl+S and IPC Save handled by the TUI. Existing yt-dlp download and temporary-file copy behavior is preserved. Headless daemon saving is unchanged. Includes configuration and actual file-save tests, plus docs and website updates.

Screenshots / video

No layout changes. The existing completion message displays the actual destination path.

How to test

  1. Run make check and go build ./... (both passed locally on macOS).
  2. Set [downloads] with directory = "/absolute/path/to/music" in config.toml and restart cliamp. Mount an external drive first if used.
  3. Play a yt-dlp source, press Ctrl+S, and verify that the saved file appears in that directory. Open it as a local file.
  4. Remove the setting or set it to an empty string and verify the default remains ~/Music/cliamp.
  5. Automated TestSaveUsesConfiguredDirectory covers a temporary audio file through both keyboard Save and IPC Save without contacting a real service. Live yt-dlp testing is a manual step, not part of the automated validation.

Checklist

  • make check passes
  • docs/ and site/index.html updated for user-facing changes

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds [downloads].directory configuration, resolves default or custom save paths, wires the directory into the TUI model, and applies it to direct and IPC saves. Documentation, command labels, and tests describe and validate the new behavior.

Changes

Configurable downloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Download configuration contract
config/config.go, config.toml.example, config/downloads_test.go, docs/configuration.md, docs/keybindings.md, site/index.html
The config loader reads [downloads].directory through parseString. An empty value uses ~/Music/cliamp. The documentation describes absolute-path validation, directory creation, mount handling, and TUI save scope.
Save directory resolution
tracksave/save.go, tracksave/save_test.go
Directory resolves the default path or accepts an absolute custom path. Relative paths return errors. SaveTo uses the resolved directory, while Save retains default-directory behavior.
TUI and IPC save integration
ui/model/model.go, ui/model/init.go, main.go, ui/model/keys.go, ui/model/ipc_extended.go, ui/model/command_registry.go, ui/model/download_directory_test.go
The TUI receives the configured directory during startup. Direct and IPC saves use it, create missing directories, and report the full destination path. The command label and integration tests reflect the configured save behavior.
