About the operation of obtaining pictures for a period of time #5

Closed YIN-Renlong closed 3 years ago

YIN-Renlong commented 3 years ago

First of all, thanks for this project. I would like to ask that is it possible to obtain a period of time (instead of just one picture)? For example, by using the command $ potd -N -d 2019-05-06 2019-06-06 to obtain all NG pictures from May 6, 2019 to June 6, 2019.

Can you please let me know if it is possible technically?

Thanks.

Thanks for your interest. Since this tool is designed for setting wallpapers, it is not possible to download in bulks natively. However, you can write a small script that loops through the specified period and then for each date you can call this tool for downloading. For that purpose, I can add an additional argument that will skip the wallpaper setting section so that your script can run a bit faster.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I haven't tried javascript yet, it would be hard for me to complete this further function. I kindly ask that If you can help implement this feature? I would be much grateful for that. Best

You can use the additional argument in the latest commit to skip the wallpaper setting section.
