Add --no-mtime flag option #83

Closed geofferb closed 3 years ago

geofferb commented 3 years ago

When I download videos, I usually find them in folders sorted by date modified, so having the --no-mtime flag to set it to the current time would be useful. Otherwise, is there an option to use custom flags?

Maxstupo commented 3 years ago

Didn't know about that flag. I think it might be worth having that flag enabled always. Doesn't seem like it would have any downsides not having it enabled for every download.

geofferb commented 3 years ago

That would be nice; I have no idea why it's enabled by default for youtube-dl, might be worth asking on their repo.

Seems like it has already been discussed https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/1709.

For the time being I will have to use version 2.7.0 since version 2.8.0 does not keep the original date and time set by the server. Is there an option to revert this begaviour? If there is no such option I would like to suggest that you add a new check box, perhaps in Download tab in Settings:

Or something like that. For me keeping the original date and time of a file is essential and important. Please consider adding such an option as a new check-box (it may be disabled by default).
