Allows to open the firefox cookie database even though Firefox is
holding a lock.
Fixes the "Cookie import failed: database is locked" message when using
the script while Firefox was running.
This has been reported in #877.
Add feature from issue #892 (Save content using original filenames)
- The new feature would download posts and save the images/videos with the original filenames.
- The implementation follows the other options for the filename-pattern parameter. As filename is related to a single file and not the whole post, for sidecar nodes the filename is calculated again.
- Using this option media from one post is only grouped together by the file modification timestamp.
Sets a default request timeout of 300 seconds to fix Instaloader hanging indefinitely when used on an unstable internet connection without using --request-timeout, such as in #810.
With this change, Instaloader is capable of resuming a previously-aborted download loop. To do so, it creates a JSON file within the target directory when interrupted, that contains all the necessary information to later resume that operation.
Resuming an interrupted download is supported for most, but not all targets. It is supported for:
- Regular profile posts,
- IGTV posts
- Saved posts,
- Tagged posts,
- Explore posts.
Move InstaloaderContext's rate controlling logic into a class
RateController with fine-grained methods to enable easily changing
Instaloader's behavior regarding rate limits.
Such as for downloading hashtag feeds, as discussed in #666 and contributed by
@e2tovar.
Also change comment color to grey in codesnippets in documentation.
- Keep documentation in sync with master branch
- Run PyLint and MyPy on Github Actions
- Update Issue templates, enforce usage of issue templates, add links to
resources in Instaloader Documentation
- Update contributing.rst
The presence of a sessionfile avoids the usage of the failure-prone login
mechanism. This commit addresses a suggestion in #615 to store the sessionfile
in a persistent path rather than a path within a temporary directory if no
--sessionfile parameter is given.
The default path is now:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/instaloader/session-USERNAME or
~/.config/instaloader/session-USERNAME on Unix,
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Instaloader\session-USERNAME on Windows.
If no file exists in the new path, Instaloader tries loading from the path
where the sessionfile was stored before this commit, hence it automatically
migrates to the new sessionfile path.
