"wayback_machine_downloader https://www.photopea.com/ -d "C:\Users\School\Downloads\WaybackTest" " doesn't actually save to "C:\Users\School\Downloads\WaybackTest" as it downloads #181

I used the command "wayback_machine_downloader https://www.photopea.com/ -d "C:\Users\School\Downloads\WaybackTest". However, as it was downloading, I opened up C:\Users\School\Downloads\WaybackTest to check on it. However, wayback_machine_downloader is not saving to there.

Oh, ok, fixed it. Did not know that all directories would be considered relative to the working directory.

Oh, ok, risolto. Non sapevo che tutte le directory sarebbero state considerate relative alla directory di lavoro.

Ciao, scusa, posso chiederti cosa intendi? Sto anche provando a indirizzare il download a una cartella di output specifica, ma senza successo...

DUOLabs333 commented 2 weeks ago

Sorry, it's been so long, I forgot the issue I had --- however, judging by my response, it's likely that the results of the download are in the directory that you are in when you started the command.

Bissnet commented 2 weeks ago

Mi dispiace, è passato così tanto tempo che avevo dimenticato il problema che avevo. Tuttavia, a giudicare dalla mia risposta, è probabile che i risultati del download si trovino nella directory in cui ti trovavi quando hai avviato il comando.

Ok I understand. But in general can I ask you how should I write the string to be able to download the material to a folder of my choice? I tried but it always downloads to the default folder

DUOLabs333 commented 2 weeks ago

What you probably want to do is find the relative path form of the directory (on Linux, you can use relpath) and pass that into -d.

Bissnet commented 2 weeks ago

Quello che probabilmente vuoi fare è trovare il percorso relativo della directory (su Linux, puoi usare relpath) e passarlo a -d.

no, more than anything I would like to specify a folder...
