How to ignore user/gallery urls? #5778

Open sockpuppetclock opened 6 days ago

sockpuppetclock commented 6 days ago

I'm running a browser script that passes selected URLs to gallery-dl. Sometimes I accidentally select a profile url instead of the post url and gallery-dl downloads the entire profile, which I do not want. Is there any internal distinction between galleries and posts that gallery-dl can be set to ignore?

Distinguishing between galleries and posts can be done via subcategories and setting options only for one of them. There is currently no option to completely ignore a certain type of URL, but you can tell gallery-dl to more or less immediately stop.

For example, 

-o extractor.deviantart.gallery.image-filter="abort()"

will prevent DA galleries from being processed, but it'll still allow single posts to be downloaded.

You can find a URL's subcategory with -E/--extractor-info:

$ gallery-dl -E https://www.deviantart.com/shimoda7/gallery
Category / Subcategory
  "deviantart" / "gallery"
