When choosing PATH the video will not be saved in the choosen path unless it already exists. #20

Describe the bug When selecting a path where the video will be downloaded to it saves it in the parent folder if the selected folder does not exist.

To Reproduce

reddit = Downloader(max_q = True) 
reddit.log = False
reddit.path = 'C:\\Users\\MyUser\\Desktop\\bot\\NonExistentFolder\\'
reddit.url = 'https://www.reddit.com/r/pythonforengineers/comments/hfmo98/what_kind_of_hawk_is_this/'
reddit.download()

Expected behavior The propper way to implement the path functionality should be to create a folder in case it does not exist.

Desktop:

I know this is not super important but your library is super useful and I thought this might help with it. Also, is there a way to change the file name or get it's name once it has been downloaded?

Nice feature. I will be implementing it in the next update.

Yes you can get the file name by doing this:

file_name = reddit.download()
