Sadly even with Pull Request #15 your RDE tool does not work - downloads empty .txt files (no comment body) and complains about AttributeError: '<class 'praw.objects.Submission'>' has no attribute 'comments' #16

@NSchrading Sadly even with Pull Request #15 your RDE tool does not work - downloads empty .txt files (no comment body) and complains about AttributeError: '<class 'praw.objects.Submission'>' has no attribute 'comments' . Please reply if you still care about your tool, I think I did like 90% of work but got stuck a bit

Using the latest 1.2 release exe.linux-x86_64-3.4 on Ubuntu 18.04 and also getting 0-byte text files. JPGs are downloading as-designed.

In the gui, the only detail is "Error saving submission:" image

In syslog, I see

Could not find config file ... 'praw.ini' -

which is likely the issue. I'll dig in next and report back here.

The dev addressed a related issue in this comment:

I suspect the problem is that you are using the new, backwards-incompatible version of PRAW (v4+). When I wrote this, only PRAW v3 was around. Try downgrading to PRAW v3 (I think 3.4.0 or 3.5.0 is the latest). Hopefully that will fix it.

I replaced PRAW 5.3 with v3.5.0 and redditDataExtractor is Working as Designed.

The only related entries I see now in syslog are

Thanks for making this tool available, @NSchrading
