Ability to download Twitter retweets?

[ghost]

This is a bit of an unusual request, but there is an account is mainly a retweet account, and i'd like to be able to download those.

However, from what I can recall, doing such a thing will download the tweeted stuff into folders for the user that was retweeted. While that is correct behavior, I find it kind of messy, and wonder if there is any way to make this neater.

An idea I have is download all the content into a "retweets" folder, that would be made in the account that is retweeting the content. (E.G. @whoever is retweeting something from @Someone. The content from @Someone would go into a folder for @whoever, but in a "retweets" sub folder)

Would what I suggest be at all possible, or would that prove to be a tricky thing to program and implement as an option?

This is already doable.

set "retweets": true

then you need to use the -K flag to view what parameters can be used for file/directory names. ex:

gallery-dl -K https://twitter.com/deilan12art

Ultimately though, one of my files does the following for grabbing retweets:

"directory": ["X_twitterRT-{user[name]}"],
"filename": "{author[name]}-{date:%Y-%m-%d}-{tweet_id}_{num}-{filename}.{extension}",

This puts all retweets in a single folder under the name of the retweeter (@whoever), but the filenames start with the name of who was retweeted( @Someone)

I think this issue can be closed.
