Option to download only favorite photos from Google Photos #2

Photos in Google Photos are often too many to download all of them. It would be great to provide an option to download only the favorite photos.

Favorite ones, as in the ones you have starred?

I can see if that's a parameter in the json that I download from.

Yes, I meant to say starred. Thanks!

I was reading up on this, and yes it is possible.

I will take a look into this when I have some more time on my hands. I also have plans to multithreaded this application and make a CLI and maybe publish it as a python package.

I will keep you updated.

Great! many thanks!

I know this is a long time coming, but I recently updated the program and it can now download only favorites. Check it out!

Great! thanks. Will try it out.
