.SH NAME
gallery-dl.conf \- gallery-dl configuration file

.SH DESCRIPTION
gallery-dl will search for configuration files in the following places
every time it is started, unless
.B --ignore-config
is specified:
.PP
.RS 4
.nf
.I /etc/gallery-dl.conf
.I $HOME/.config/gallery-dl/config.json
.I $HOME/.gallery-dl.conf
.fi
.RE
.PP
It is also possible to specify additional configuration files with the
.B -c/--config
command-line option or to add further option values with
.B -o/--option
as <key>=<value> pairs,

Configuration files are JSON-based and therefore don't allow any ordinary
comments, but, since unused keys are simply ignored, it is possible to utilize
those as makeshift comments by settings their values to arbitrary strings.

.SH EXTRACTOR OPTIONS
.SS extractor.*.filename
.IP "Type:" 6
.br
* \f[I]string\f[]
.br
* \f[I]object\f[] (condition -> \f[I]format string\f[])

.IP "Example:" 4
.. code:: json

"{manga}_c{chapter}_{page:>03}.{extension}"

.. code:: json

{
"extension == 'mp4'": "{id}_video.{extension}",
"'nature' in title" : "{id}_{title}.{extension}",
""                  : "{id}_default.{extension}"
}


.IP "Description:" 4
A \f[I]format string\f[] to build filenames for downloaded files with.

If this is an \f[I]object\f[], it must contain Python expressions mapping to the
filename format strings to use.
These expressions are evaluated in the order as specified in Python 3.6+
and in an undetermined order in Python 3.4 and 3.5.

The available replacement keys depend on the extractor used. A list
of keys for a specific one can be acquired by calling *gallery-dl*
with the \f[I]-K\f[]/\f[I]--list-keywords\f[] command-line option.
For example:

.. code::

$ gallery-dl -K http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im5977527
Keywords for directory names:

category
seiga
subcategory
image

Keywords for filenames:

category
seiga
extension
None
image-id
5977527
subcategory
image

Note: Even if the value of the \f[I]extension\f[] key is missing or
\f[I]None\f[], it will be filled in later when the file download is
starting. This key is therefore always available to provide
a valid filename extension.

.br
* | A (base)category-subcategory pair, where both names are separated by a colon (\f[I]"gfycat:user"\f[]).
Both names can be a * or left empty, matching all possible names (\f[I]"*:image"\f[], \f[I]":user"\f[]).

\f[I]null\f[]

.IP "Example:" 4
"$HOME/.archives/{category}.sqlite3"

.IP "Description:" 4
File to store IDs of downloaded files in. Downloads of files
already recorded in this archive file will be
\f[I]skipped\f[].

The resulting archive file is not a plain text file but an SQLite3
database, as either lookup operations are significantly faster or
memory requirements are significantly lower when the
amount of stored IDs gets reasonably large.

Note: Archive files that do not already exist get generated automatically.

Note: Archive paths support regular \f[I]format string\f[] replacements,
but be aware that using external inputs for building local paths
may pose a security risk.

.IP "Description:" 4
A list of \f[I]post processors\f[]
to be applied to each downloaded file in the specified order.

Unlike other options, a \f[I]postprocessors\f[] setting at a deeper level
.br
does not override any \f[I]postprocessors\f[] setting at a lower level.
Instead, all post processors from all applicable \f[I]postprocessors\f[]
.br
settings get combined into a single list.

For example

.br
* an \f[I]mtime\f[] post processor at \f[I]extractor.postprocessors\f[],
.br
* a \f[I]zip\f[] post processor at \f[I]extractor.pixiv.postprocessors\f[],

.SS output.mode
.IP "Type:" 6
.br
* \f[I]string\f[]
.br
* \f[I]object\f[] (key -> format string)

.IP "Default:" 9
\f[I]"auto"\f[]

.IP "Description:" 4
Controls the output string format and status indicators.

.br
* \f[I]"null"\f[]: No output
.br
* \f[I]"pipe"\f[]: Suitable for piping to other processes or files
.br
* \f[I]"terminal"\f[]: Suitable for the standard Windows console
.br
* \f[I]"color"\f[]: Suitable for terminals that understand ANSI escape codes and colors
.br
* \f[I]"auto"\f[]: \f[I]"terminal"\f[] on Windows with \f[I]output.ansi\f[] disabled,
\f[I]"color"\f[] otherwise.

It is possible to use custom output format strings
.br
by setting this option to an \f[I]object\f[] and specifying
\f[I]start\f[], \f[I]success\f[], \f[I]skip\f[], \f[I]progress\f[], and \f[I]progress-total\f[].
.br

For example, the following will replicate the same output as \f[I]mode: color\f[]:

.. code:: json

{
"start"  : "{}",
"success": "\\r\\u001b[1;32m{}\\u001b[0m\\n",
"skip"   : "\\u001b[2m{}\\u001b[0m\\n",
"progress"      : "\\r{0:>7}B {1:>7}B/s ",
"progress-total": "\\r{3:>3}% {0:>7}B {1:>7}B/s "
}

\f[I]start\f[], \f[I]success\f[], and \f[I]skip\f[] are used to output the current
filename, where \f[I]{}\f[] or \f[I]{0}\f[] is replaced with said filename.
If a given format string contains printable characters other than that,
their number needs to be specified as \f[I][<number>, <format string>]\f[]
to get the correct results for \f[I]output.shorten\f[]. For example

.. code:: json

"start"  : [12, "Downloading {}"]

\f[I]progress\f[] and \f[I]progress-total\f[] are used when displaying the
.br
\f[I]download progress indicator\f[],
\f[I]progress\f[] when the total number of bytes to download is unknown,
.br
\f[I]progress-total\f[] otherwise.

For these format strings

.br
* \f[I]{0}\f[] is number of bytes downloaded
.br
* \f[I]{1}\f[] is number of downloaded bytes per second
.br
* \f[I]{2}\f[] is total number of bytes
.br
* \f[I]{3}\f[] is percent of bytes downloaded to total bytes

In Windows environments, backslashes (\f[I]"\\"\f[]) can, in addition to
forward slashes (\f[I]"/"\f[]), be used as path separators.
Because backslashes are JSON's escape character,
they themselves have to be escaped.
The path \f[I]C:\\path\\to\\file.ext\f[] has therefore to be written as
\f[I]"C:\\\\path\\\\to\\\\file.ext"\f[] if you want to use backslashes.
