Program not downloading all images from a User or Subreddit #294

Hello! I appreciate the tool you have made, but I am having an issue with it. When attempting to download images from a User, I get only a small selection of the user's uploaded images.

I have followed the following steps:

This resulted in only 25 downloads of a user's many hundreds of uploaded images.

I next deleted the Data Directory and restarted the program, returning the program to its default install state. I then followed the following steps:

This resulted in only 10 images downloading, while the user has many more uploaded images in the selected subreddit.

I would like to fully download all the images this user has uploaded to this subreddit. How can this be accomplished? I have attached my log file below. Thank you for your assistance!

The settings you explained seem to be correct for what you're trying to do, and I don't see anything in your log file that indicates a problem.

Right-click on the user you trying to download and click on settings. Make sure that the user's settings match the list settings that you've set. If they don't, go back to the Download Defaults page in the main settings dialog. Check the box at the top that says "Cascade changes", and make the adjustments that you mentioned above.

When making changes to a list's settings, if that list already contains users/subreddits you must check the cascade changes checkbox for the settings to be applied to each item already in the list. Otherwise, the settings are only applied to new users/subreddits added to the list after the changes are made.
