I want to use the "Special Type Format Strings" but gallery-dl completely ignores these formatters.
It seems that
\f
in the parameter --filename is converted to\\f
.By calling
gallery-dl -f "\fM test20220313:generate_text" https://some.web.site
, the argumentformat_string
informatter.py:parse
is set to\\fM test20220313:generate_text
. This breaks the detection and extraction of the special type formatters.This pull request is a quick fix for this problem. Feel free to improve it.
