This is a python script which downloads media from the front page of subreddits (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, gifv and mp4 (from gfycat)) currently
Put imgur-album-downloader in your path as imgurdl
sudo mv imguralbum.py /usr/bin/imgurdl
And run setup.sh
./setup.sh
Make a folder called Imguralbums in ~/Pictures
mkdir ~/Pictures/Imguralbums
Make a folder called imgur_down in ~/.config
mkdir ~/.config/imgur_down
Then make a file called subreddits.txt in imgur_down and a file call downloaded.txt
touch downloaded.txt
touch subreddits.txt
touch log.txt
Enter the name of the sub reddits you want to download from in subreddits.txt. You only need the subreddit name not the full url.
The script will download all imguralbums from the front page of those subreddits and save the images to ~/Pictures/Imguralbums/SUBREDDIT/RANDOMSTRING/
It will also download all dot jpg, png and gif files from those posts on those subreddits and save them to ~/Pictures/Imguralbums/SUBREDDIT/RANDOMSTRING.PNG|JPG|GIF
And then put them in .cbz archives so they can be read with the comic reader of your choice, meaning the end files with look like ~/Pictures/Imguralbums/SUBREDDIT/RANDOMSTRING.cbz
They can be view with any comic reader
Add the subreddits you want to download from to ~/.config/imgur_down/subreddits.txt (1 per line)
Run the program with
python3 imgur_download.py
To log the number of files downloaded and their type add the -l option
python3 imgur_download.py -l
The program will compress and delete all folders in the ~/Pictures/Imguralbums/SUBREDDIT dir
This was made to run on Linux based systems and it cannot be run on windows as it is. In order to run it on windows you would need to comment out the lines using system calls and change all the paths to windows valid ones.
As far as I can tell this is a issue with the images not with the program.
