Feature Request - Overwrite Save Location For Each Entry When Using Download List #13

Just stumbled across this program recently, and it works really well. This may already be possible, but I wished to ask to confirm as I wasn't too sure.

Using a download list text file, is it possible to overwrite the save folder for each entry?

Say for example if there are 2 entries in the list, are there any methods of assigning a specific save location for each of those two entries rather than using the default save path? Currently I believe you can do this overall via command line switches, but it would be helpful if you could set individual download directories.

Links list files are not intended to be used as batch scripts, but you can use the two together, like this:

rem This is some .cmd file in the same location as furdown
rem list1 -> down1
furdown.exe -b -o Z:\fd\down1 -f Z:\fd\list1.txt
rem list2 -> down2
furdown.exe -b -o Z:\fd\down2 -f Z:\fd\list2.txt
rem And the same can be done for the individual URLs
furdown.exe -b -o Z:\fd\down3 -g https://www.furaffinity.net/scraps/flipstick/

I don't see much sense in creating what is essentially a proprietary scripting language for what can be achieved with existing tools like cmd/ps1/sh

Actually hadn't even thought of that. That'd take care of it. Thanks for the suggestion!
