[Hitomi] A way to convert webp to gif

[wds204]

I have an issue with the hitomi site.
Gallery-dl keeps changing the gif format into webp, is there a way to keep it as gif? I like webp but when it comes to gif i don't want to convert it.

Disable downloader.http.adjust-extensions to prevent the file extension correction, but these files will still be .webp files, albeit with .gif extension. (-o adjust-extensions=0)

Never mind, forgot that this is hitomi we're talking about so it really only serves .webp or .avif files.

You'll need to use an external program via exec post processor to convert to .gif, but there currently isn't a way to check whether a file was a .gif or a static image before hitomi converted it.

gallery-dl never changes the actual data of files it downloads. There is no conversion happening.

I see, is there any possibility in the future gallery-dl can download gif from hitomi? Without using exec

Not if Hitomi actually serves only webp.
I don't see the problem, it's better than gif, usually.

Got it, thank you for answering!
