Potential DeviantArt bug? #455
Comments
In the case that a user changed his username, requesting deviations with an old name might cause problems (missing deviations, etc.) The internal 'username' value therefore now gets updated to the current username taken from the user profile.

The code will now always use current usernames when listing deviations, since the old names appear to cause problems. I've tried to reproduce your problem with 3 accounts that changed their names at some point before attempting to fix this, but they worked as they should with both new and old name, so hopefully using their current names actually does something ... Another possibility would be private deviations that can only be accessed when being logged in or using a |

It seems the fix you did reverted somehow. Gallery-dl is back to using the lowercase names in the current dev release (1.11.2-dev). When you did that fix the capitalization for all the artists was correct. Now it seems things are back to how they were? |
|
So, you are saying that it's working as supposed with version v1.11.1? |
|
Ok, I went back and checked the recent versions. It works properly in v1.11.0 but it went back to how it was in version v1.11.1 |
|
Ok, I'm really confused. Now I can't get any version of gallery-dl to capitalize folder names with either EXEs or python. I tested it with the EXEs yesterday when I got v1.11.0 to work. I've tried for hours now. I've tried with and without configs. I wasn't using a config yesterday when it worked. |
The 'username' field was capitalized in a very inconsistent manner:
Either all lowercase, or as given by the input URL, or with the
"original" capitalization, depending on the extractor used among
other things.
Now usernames use their original capitalization for all extractors.
('UserName' instead of 'username' or 'uSeRnAmE')

It worked! Thank you :) |
If the downloader comes across a deviantart URL of an account that had a name change it often only downloads 1 image. Out of the 98 deviant folders so far that were from a redirect, 39 folders have only one image, 7 folders have two images and 3 folders have three images. Most of the other accounts downloaded fine. All the deviants that didn't have a name change downloaded correctly it seems. I checked a few accounts that were from redirects that downloaded only 1 image and they had a lot of images online.
The average amount of images downloaded per account otherwise is ~223 images.
Trying to download the accounts with their current name downloads everything.
I don't know which of the original URLs were for the accounts that only downloaded 1 image.
I can rerun the downloader with the new names so this doesn't affect me too much but I thought it would be good to mention it.
