Request: metadata storage for --download_user option about flickr-download HOT 6 CLOSED

Thank you! That works perfectly!

One more comment: the already downloaded photos will not be added to the metadata since you return the "do_download_photo" function after "if os.path.exists(fname)". That happens just before you would otherwise add it to the metadata database.
So photos that have been downloaded without metadata will always return from this function. However, maybe this is another topic

However, for completely new downloads, it works flawlessly!

Thanks for the nice words, and happy to hear that the project is helpful!

Can you share the exact command line you use (without any secrets in it : ) )?

from flickr-download.

Of course! The command line I use is:

flickr_download -k "api key" -s "api secret" -t --cache api_cache --metadata_store -u "username"

I have authenticated in Flickr with the same username I am downloading from, so I can access all photos.

During the download, I have been looking for the .metadata.db file, but it does not appear. It is not created in the main folder from where I run the command, but also not in the set folders of each downloaded set. The cache file does get edited and changes size now and then.

I think I just forgot to add support for the --download_user option... I just added to master. Do you know how to run the script from the master branch?

Happy it's working!

On the already downloaded... If only I could remember if there was a reason for why I did it in that order... 😀 I'll try to think about it.

Ok, fixed that edge case of updating the metadata store too.
