Reconstruct/rebuild posts and archive files from JSON. #202

Open indrakaw opened 5 years ago

The case: A tumblr blog is backed up. It left JSON files. Many media is downloaded, although there are some media aren't downloaded because of error. I want to rebuild the post and archive page for some reason, eg. change posts-per-page or reverse index. Normally, excluding incremental backup, I have to delete the entires backed up blog then rebackup it; what a wasteful time and resources.

Aside reconstruct/regenerate, I used to use PHP languages to generate dynamic page from archived blog. Also, I have to look up for missing localmedia, JSON doesn't contain ../media/PostNum_oID.format, but remote url.
