Expose path to download database for `downloadDB` as a user input #109

Open valentynbez opened 1 year ago

valentynbez commented 1 year ago

Databases and software are usually stored in different folder in the filesystem for various reasons. The choice of path for db download should be up to user.

AlessioMilanese commented 1 year ago

At the moment you can specify the path of the database with the oprion -db. I think that is what you are looking for?

valentynbez commented 1 year ago

No, I mean the ability to change the download location for the database in downloadDB.py.

AlessioMilanese commented 1 year ago

We can add it as an advance option. But it might make it more complicated for non-advanced users. Also, if you downoad in a different position, then you will need to specify -db when running motus.

I would like to plus 1 that feature request 😄 It would be super helpful if you could download the database to a specific folder (maybe somewhere else in the filesystem), and yes, you would have to specify then the path to the db anytime you run motus, but that should be fine
