Version Info
- Ytmdl version:

How Ytmdl was installed?
pip install -U ytmdl
Console Log
Not applicable, happens before any ytmdl code runs.
Description
When the command ytmdl is run, it opens a “How do you want to open this file?” prompt, like this
The program itself runs perfectly fine when running it via python (which ytmdl|% Source) (finds the location of ytmdl and runs it with python) in PowerShell. I assume the reason this is is because ytmdl in the python Scripts folder has no file extension. This could be rectified by changing it to ytmdl.py
