Improve blog configuration options #22

Open Liru opened 8 years ago

For instance, adding an ability to download different tags into different directories, or combining several generic blogs into a single directory. Maybe adding implicit priorities and duplicate file detection: ie, if a file was downloaded from one blog, then the rest shouldn't download it.

This will probably replace the current download.txt method. It'll probably be a bit harder to generate from scratch, but it'll also be a lot more versatile.

You could join this and https://github.com/Liru/tumblr-downloader/issues/23 into a single enhancement, where a config file contains both tags for command line parameters, and blogs requested to download, each blog with ability to configure it's folder name so you can merge multiple into a single subfolder.

Probably not. I'd want download files to be relatively self-contained. That way you'd be able to share them with other people without much hassle, or looking into whether you have a bad configuration when it's just the download file messing with the flags.
