general question - `range` flag separate posts and images? #6054

Closed Luke-L closed 3 weeks ago

Luke-L commented 3 weeks ago

If I want to download the 8 most recent posts from a given artstation tag or instagram user, it instead stops after downloading 8 IMAGES. Maybe I'm using the --range flag wrong or there is a better option I don't know about. Is there any way to download ALL images from a set number of posts?

--range applies only to files, not posts, and there is no general way to limit the number of downloaded posts yet. For artstation in particular, there is a max-posts option.

Thank you. Is this a planned feature for the general downloader or more sites than artstation?

Yes, but there has to be quite a bit of internal code restructuring to make this work properly, i.e. v2.0 and Soon :tm:

or more sites than artstation?

kemono and pixiv have this option too, as will instagram once I push the next set of commits to GitHub.
