[NSFW] Write ImageFap Gallery Description as Text File

[cheese529]

How would I be able to get gallery-dl to write the description of an imagefap gallery as a text file, just like yt-dlp is able to do

[mikf]

Use a metadata post processor with "event": "init" and appropriate "filename", similar to

gallery-dl/docs/gallery-dl-example.conf

Lines 132 to 144 in 762a689

	"postprocessors": [
	{
	"name": "metadata",
	"event": "post",
	"filename": "{id} {title}.txt",
	"#": "write text content and external URLs",
	"mode": "custom",
	"format": "{content}\n{embed[url]:?/\n/}",
	"#": "onlx write file if there is an external link present",
	"filter": "embed.get('url') or re.search(r'(?i)(gigafile|xgf|1drv|mediafire|mega|google|drive)', content)"
	}

Please forgive me as I am super code illiterate, so in ELI5 terms I would I just copy and paste the following stuff you put into my config below the imagefap entry? I would just want the output to be a text file with the same name as the gallery's name

[mikf]

Theoretically, it would look like this

{
    "extractor": {
        "imagefap": {
            "postprocessors": [
                {
                    "name": "metadata",
                    "event": "init",
                    "filename": "{title}.txt",
                    "format": "{description}"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

but, as it turns out, gallery-dl does not provide a {description} for imagefap galleries.

Do these galleries even have something that could be used as description? I've looked at a few and none of them had more than a title and tags.

[NSFW] here is a link that has a description for the gallery and the images also have captions too which I hope can also be added into the file. https://www.imagefap.com/gallery/3392277 and here are two more example galleries that have a description. https://www.imagefap.com/gallery/7871364 https://www.imagefap.com/gallery/6706356

Heads up all the links are indeed very NSFW so please open with caution.

[mikf]

There is now a description metadata field for imagefap galleries (02ec5bb).
(and a categories one with 2dfd4a3)

You might want to add "filter": "description" to the post processor from #3905 (comment) to not write empty files for galleries without description.

thank you so much! here is my current config https://pastebin.pl/view/62c7ed3b
could you please tell me exactly what i would actually write in the imagefap part in order to accomplish all of this. also would this fix also download or embed image captions too maybe in metadata? or just gallery description

The snippet I posted in #3905 (comment)

Just gallery descriptions. Image captions would require an extra HTTP request for each single image, and that's not really feasible with imagefap's "rate-limit".

The current strategy is to get images in bulks of 24 and those do not contain captions, I don 't think.
