The RE-tries option now specifies exactly that: the maximum number a
failed HTTP request is re-tried. For example a value of 2 will now
correctly stop after 3 attempts: the initial one + 2 re-tries.
The maximum wait-time now also caps at 30min and increases exponentially
for both extractor.request() and downloader.http.download().
The functionality of --(chapter-)filter and --(chapter-)range are now
also exposed as the following config-file options:
- extractor.*.image-filter
- extractor.*.image-range
- extractor.*.chapter-filter
- extractor.*.chapter-range
TODO: update configuration.rst
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)?
- requests and urllib3 version on 1 line
- close input file after reading from it
- use expand_path for unsupported-urls file
- remove unnecessary logging from options.py
- '--no-part' command line option to disable them
- 'downloader.http.part' and 'downloader.text.part' config options
Disabling .part files restores the behaviour of the old downloader
implementation.
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()"
Using argument groups is a definite improvement over how things looked
previously, but general group membership of individual items might be
a thing to reconsider.
Use the '--netrc' cmdline option or set the 'netrc' config option
to 'true' to enable the use of .netrc authentication data.
The 'machine' names for the .netrc info are the lowercase extractor
names (or categories): batoto, exhentai, nijie, pixiv, seiga.
the 'skip' config option controls skipping behavior:
true - skip download if file already exist (default)
false - download and overwrite files even if it exists
"abort" - abort extractor run if a download would be skipped
(same as '--abort-on-skip')
