Kommander Script for YouTube Downloading

Attached is my meager attempt to create a Kommander GUI for the youtube-dl command line utility. Change the extension from TXT to KMDR. You'll need Kommander and youtube-dl installed, of course. Comments, suggestions, revisions welcome. I'm a total novice at this stuff, so please go easy. I'm sure there are much better ways to do things like this.

This tool needs two things I can't figure out:
  • feedback to the user when required entries are missing; and,
  • a progress bar.
I thought I could leverage the youtube-dl STDOUT, which shows a percentage of what has been downloaded, but I just can't seem to isolate the number.

If anyone knows of some really good quality documentation -- specifically, EXAMPLES and TUTORIALS -- for Kommander, please post the link to it. The Kommander Handbook leaves a lot to be desired, IMHO. Kommander Crash Course is good, but isn't everything I need to know. There's a rant about Kommander right here that I found I agreed with quite a bit.

Thanks in advance for all comments.
