Useful for quick testing (even though -g and -j kind of do the same)
and to fill a download archive without actually downloading the files.
-s does the same as the default behaviour, except downloading stuff.
Maybe it should get a more fitting name, as it does actually write to
disk (cache, archive)?
Standard logging to stderr, logfiles, and unsupported URL files (which
are now handled through the logging module) can now be configured by
setting their respective option keys (log, logfile, unsupportedfile)
to a dict and specifying the following options;
- format:
format string for logging messages
available keys: see [1]
default: "[{name}][{levelname}] {message}"
- format-date:
format string for {asctime} fields in logging messages
available keys: see [2]
default: "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
- level:
the lowercase levelname until which the logger should activate;
available levels are debug, info, warning, error, exception
default: "info"
- path:
path of the file to be written to
- mode:
'mode' argument when opening the specified file
can be either "w" to truncate the file or "a" to append to it (see [3])
If 'output.log', '.logfile', or '.unsupportedfile' is a string, it will
be interpreted, as it has been, as the filepath
(or as format string for .log)

- "count" can now be a string defining a comparison in the form of
'<operator> <value>', for example: '> 12' or '!= 1'. If its value
is not a string, it is assumed to be a concrete integer as before.
- "keyword" can now be a dictionary defining tests for individual keys.
These tests can either be a type, a concrete value or a regex
starting with "re:". Dictionaries can be stacked inside each other.
Optional keys can be indicated with a "?" before its name.
For example:
"keyword:" {
"image_id": int,
"gallery_id", 123,
"name": "re:pattern",
"user": {
"id": 321,
},
"?optional": None,
}
This allows the DeviantArt group-check to be moved inside the
Extractor.items() method which in turn allows for better exception
handling.
As a new general rule:
Never raise exceptions during extractor initialization.
ImageFap- and all Manga-Extractors will transfer their (sub)category
values to other extractors instantiated by them, which will in turn
allow those to use options set for their parents.
Example:
ImagefapGalleryExtractors will use options set under
extractor.imagefap.user, if (and only if) they have been instantiated by
a ImagefapUserExtractor; and options from extractor.imagefap.gallery
otherwise.
The same filter infrastructure that can be applied to image URLS now
also works for manga chapters and other delegated URLs.
TODO: actually provide any metadata (currently supported is only
deviantart and imagefap).
This allows for image filtering via Python expressions by the same
metadata that is also used to build filenames (--list-keywords).
The usually shunned eval() function is used to evaluate
filter-expressions, but it seemed quite appropriate in this case and
shouldn't introduce any new security issues, as any attacker that could do
> gallery-dl --filter "delete-everything()" ...
could as well do
> python -c "delete-everything()"
Duplicate URLs might occur if, for example, an artist adds another
image to his gallery while an extractor is running and images are being
downloaded on sites like pixiv/nijie/hentaifoundry.
The next image on the next page will have already been downloaded and
will cause a premature end if '--abort-on-skip' is being used.
- ask user to report unexpected errors, which usually indicate
extractor failure
- handle OSErrors separately (permissions, disk full, etc)
- revert 30eef52
There was never any "good" reason for the strict separation
between extractors and downloaders. This change allows for
reduced resource usage (probably unnoticeable) and less lines
of code at the "cost" of tighter coupling.
reddit extractors now recursively visit other submissions/posts
linked to in the initial set of submissions.
This behaviour can be configured via the 'extractor.reddit.recursion'
key in the configuration file or by `-o recursion=<value>`.
Example:
{"extractor": {
"reddit": {
"recursion": <value>
}}}
Possible values:
* -1 - infinite recursion (don't do this)
* 0 - recursion is disabled (default)
* 1 and higher - maximum recursion level
