[deviantart][feature request] For non-image files, is it possible to download BOTH preview image AND artwork? (E.g. for Flash files)

[a-washing-machine]

For non-image files, I've seen a config option for "download preview image only", and "download actual file", but not both. (extractor.deviantart.original ?)

For non-image file formats such as flash-, .pdf-, .zip-files etc (generally anything that doesn't have a preview in Windows Explorer), I'd like gallery-dl to download both.

Is there a way to do that already, without having to reparse everything twice? (Keep in mind that would disallow use of the abort-parameter.) If not, could this feature be added?

My config:

{
    "extractor":
    {
          "deviantart":
        {
            "cookies": "cookies.txt",
            "refresh-token": "[REDACTED]",
            "client-id": "[REDACTED]",
            "client-secret": "[REDACTED]",          
            "extra": true,
            "metadata": true,
            "blacklist": "foobar",
            "auto-watch": "true",
            "auto-unwatch":"true",

            "postprocessors": [{
                "name": "metadata",
                "mode": "custom",
                "format": "{description}\n"
            }]
        },

    ... ... ...
    }
}

That's correct.

No.

without having to reparse everything twice?

As a workaround, if your filename format has {index} in it, you can write a script (or do it manually) to get a list of IDs of the deviatios you want to re-download. Then use gallery-dl -o original=false https://www.deviantart.com/view/{index} for each deviation ID.

I've had this feature in my personal fork for quite some time and it works pretty well. I decided not to open a PR because it would interfere with --range (enabling this feature can cause a deviation object to yield more than one URL), although this can be fixed by adding an offset option similar to the Tumblr extractor.

Hmm. Doing this one time to create the needed commands for previously downloaded files might be possible. (We're talking about at least 32.000 non-image files here.)

I mean, it's doable for me make a list of all files of the respective file types, extract the IDs from that, then prepend the string "gallery-dl -o original=false https://www.deviantart.com/view/" to those IDs and run the resulting commands.

But it's not something I can do repeatedly in the future, that just isn't practical. Not to mention it ignores sub-folder / favorites / group folder-organization. :/

Well, that's unfortunate. I'll see if I can get this to work on the original master branch.

That would be lovely, thanks! :)

This feature would work best if #3322 could be merged first.

[a-washing-machine]

This feature hasn't been added yet, has it?

'Cause otherwise my gallery folder would be due for doing a full reparse without abort-parameter to catch those missing preview images in addition to any PDF files gallery-dl failed to download in the prior six months due to a (now corrected) site change.

...Which, without the abort-parameter, is something that would take about a month and a half even without any large number of new images being downloaded, so I'd want to "make it count"! ; )

As I see, based on my downloads, only [".jpg", ".png", ".gif", ".mp4", ".htm"] have no preview. The other extensions like [".zip", ".rar", ".7z", ".swf", ".psd", ".wmv", ...] have a preview image. For them you need to do an extra run with -o original=false:
