Hard code arguments

[ghost]

Sorry to bother you I have a lengthy command line argument like 'python kemono-dl.py --cookies "cookie.txt" --dirname-pattern "Downloads{username}" --filename-pattern "{title}{index}{filename}.{ext}" --inline-filename-pattern "{title}{index}{filename}.{ext}" --other-filename-pattern "{title}{index}{filename}.{ext}" --user-filename-pattern "{title}{index}{filename}.{ext}" --links "example.com"' how would i go about hard coding this into the program. I have tried changing the default parameter for cookie argument but it creates problems. And another related question I would like the program to run automatically with these arguments and add something like input("enter link: ") instead of the link argument. Is that possible and where would I need to edit? I would really appreciate it if you could help. Thanks.

sorry, I know little about the entire structure of this script, but I do have same need like you, I just simply made a batch file for it.

set /p links=links: 
cd /d C:\Users\L4\CLIs\kemono-dl-main\
kemono-dl.py --cookies cookies.txt --content --comments --json --links %links%
pause

some thing like that

Thank you very much. Batch files didn't even come to my mind. Good enough for now. I'll let you know if I find a permanent solution. Thanks.

I was checking for updates and noticed this Issue. This may not fix your issue but I noticed batch files being brought up and figured I would share mine for anyone who might be interested.

Please feel free to improve it or change anything I did that may be wrong. It's been great for my needs. I added comments for anyone who needs them.
