[YAFW] ... Error Message about extensions HOT 9 OPEN

That's a great finding @InitPatch ! I found an issue with my logic. It was using /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg even if you provided another location. I'll push the fix in the same PR. Also I will add /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg as another possible PATH so you don't even have to change it when the fix is released.

@InitPatch it seems they released a new major version this month (ffmpeg 7). I was using v6 to develop this extension. Let me try with v7 and try to make it compatible

Hey @pablopunk,
I confirm it works now! 🙌🏼 Thank you!

One thing though. If I select more than one file in Finder, it will still display 1 task in the queue only:

This means I'll have to add the other file(s) by clicking on the Add file button.
Since the extension works based on a selected file in Finder, it would make sense that whatever the amount of selected video files are selected in the Finder, would be added to the queue.
As much as keeping the "Add File" button, in case you know where your files are and not in the current folder in Finder at that moment.

Another thing I'd add, is a progress bar while it compresses the video(s).
The first time I used it, I waited, like 22 sec for a 100 MB video file for instance, but I wasn't sure what would happen if I'd close the Raycast window; would it stop the job or not? Because that's for a 100 MB file but how long will it be on a bigger file or several files, right?
It turns out it does the job, even in the background, but I feel like that'd be nice to have a progress bar system, even within a floating window for instance (in the case you close the Raycast window or do something else with Raycast. See what I mean?)

Also, small thing, but since you're displaying the compressed files in quite big size, it'd be cool to have a thumbnail on the file(s), when the compression is done:

I think [this](https://developers.raycast.com/utilities/icons/getprogressicon#signature) could work
No idea, I'm not a coder, just a simple user 🙃

Thank you for opening this issue!

🔔 @pablopunk you might want to have a look.

Update: v7 works fine for me. I made another PR to easily see logs in production so I can debug this one

Sweet, thanks!
I'll wait for your PR to be approved. Meanwhile, I went to the extension preferences and noticed the current path is /opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg. However, when I checked this path in Finder I didn't see FFMPEG in there:

Instead, I found it there:

Should I change it to /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/ or /usr/local/Cellar/ffmpeg/7.0_1 in the extension preferences? ... or?

@InitPatch can you try with the new version of the extension?

that's the intention, so it's indeed a bug

Another thing I'd add, is a progress bar while it compresses the video(s).

that'd be nice. It's tricky, cause it would need to parse the stdout of ffmpeg and somehow display the progress (I think this could work)

Also, small thing, but since you're displaying the compressed files in quite big size, it'd be cool to have a thumbnail on the file(s), when the compression is done:

that was my first idea and I tried so hard to make it work but I couldn't find a way. Maybe @pernielsentikaer knows a way?
