There is --write-metadata (and in general the metadata post-processor), but that creates a metadata file for each downloaded (image) file and not just one per queue job.

so is there have anyway to limit it just one-time write, or it can't ? ty

mikf commented 5 years ago

It can't really do that, at least not at the moment.

A possible workaround might be to download only the first file with --write-metadata --range 1 to get a single metadata file, and then run gallery-dl a second time without those options to download the entire gallery in full.

A --write-info-json command-line option got added in v1.19.0

thank

It's "thanks" or "thank you"
