Setting in the Config File to set a new result folder

Describe the solution you'd like Setting in the Config File to set a new result folder

Its pretty annoying for automation purposes because the folder changes sometimes. also clicking through all those folders is annoying when you have to do it a lot

.... WHAT? 🤣

.... WHAT? 🤣

in the config.toml:

Folder for results: "the/folder/I/want/my/results/at/"

What's the problem with the current system though........

Like for automation assuming you are using Python

Have you never heard of os.listdir() or glob.glob?

I am using os.listdir() but if i am changing the subreddits, the bot creates a new folder where it dumps the results, thats my main problem.

Yes cuz it's designed to do that That's not a problem....

The only problem here is the fact that you're being lazy with either

1. Coding your automation thing So that it reads config.toml and sees what subreddit is being used

Or

2. You can't bother to change a single variable when you change the subreddit

I know thats its designed to do that, but the design itself is bs. It just doesnt help 99% of people. Theres probably 1% who want their videos split by subreddit. Its just a shitty design aspect which isnt as userfriendly as having an option to dump all the videos into one folder, nothing to do with being lazy when stuff is being overcomplicated
