Can we save images with Date?

[mirusu400]

Hello. I know that this program only downloads weibo picture files with native raw file name, but I want to save the name with date(Ex. 20190606_6b084396gw1f8ta9obw9gj20rsbnve84.jpg) Is this possible? Thanks.

It is possible but need extra work

The API response a formatted time like "2 mins ago", "yesterday", "6-10", "2018-12-26" instead of an accurate post time

So a parser is needed, and only date can be extracted without post time I will add it as soon as possible

I added the date information with key 'date' to the format item just now Please replace the default logic with a new naming rule whatever you want to have

For your example format (Ex. 20190606_6b084396gw1f8ta9obw9gj20rsbnve84.jpg), the following should work

-- return name
++ return item['date'].strftime('%Y%m%d') + '_' + name

Should be better to add as an command option on the script instead of manually modifiy the script, I'm sure a lot of people wanna use this feature :)

Use -n option with argument '{date:%Y%m%d}_{name}'

You should put the info in front of the page. People will just put ' -n date '.
