Is there a way to exclude downloading images/gifs which have a certain tag/word in them? (Kemonoparty)

Im currently trying to download a gallery however i would prefer to not have any of the WIP's being downloaded and have tried
gallery-dl --filter 'WiP' not in filename "url.com"

but it doesnt work, this is probably pretty easy to do but i honestly have no clue how to make this work, thanks in advance.

also is there a way to not download duplicates? there seems to be lots of duplicates which takes up lots of space, they typically have the exact same file size so im not sure if that helps. they also seem to be from the same post with just different resolutions

--filter "'WiP' not in filename"

or with regex

--filter "not re.search('(?i)wip', filename)"

Hi! Thanks so much for the response, how do i make it so that i filter out multiple strings with regex? i tried
--filter "not re.search('(?i)wip', '(?i)tamelapse', '(?i)timelapse', '(?i)timelapses', '(?i)sketch','(?i)process','(?i)sketches' filename)"
but that doesn't seem to work.

edit: for some reason having --filter "extension not in ('psd')" makes it so that the filter on strings etc doesnt work?
my full line: gallery-dl "url" --filter "'Timelapse' not in filename" --destination (my computer username is in dest) --filter "extension not in ('psd')" --range 1-20 --simulate

filter out multiple strings with regex?

https://www.regular-expressions.info/alternation.html
--filter "not re.search(r'(?i)wip|t[ai]melapses?|sketch|process', filename)"

that the filter on strings etc doesnt work?

does it or not?

Anyway, to use multiple --filter expressions you need to combine them with and/or in one string,
--filter "extension not in ('psd',) and not re.search(r'(?i)wip|t[ai]melapses?|sketch|process', filename)"

Hi i tried copy and pasting that to test if it worked, and i got this error instead. Any idea how to fix this?
"FilterError: Evaluating filter expression failed (NameError: name 'item' is not defined)"

that the filter on strings etc doesnt work?

does it or not?

And it didnt work because i wasnt using and so yeah there's nothing wrong with that

Edit: after some trial and error i found what was missing and now it works fine, thanks for the help--filter "extension not in ('psd',) and not re.search(r'(?i)wip|t[ai]melapses?|sketch|process', filename)"

Yeah, I forgot the second argument for re.search(). Sorry about that.

Hi yeah no worries

Sorry for not asking earlier and reopening this discussion, but is there a way for files to be compressed before they are downloaded? Because many of the files in kemono.su are a few megabytes per picture when they can be a couple hundred kilobytes and still retain an extremely similar image quality, once you start to download a lot of pictures there starts to be a storage problem. Any idea how to circumvent this issue?

Not possible. Some sites have thumbnail/preview/sample versions, but not kemono.

I can get this to work just fine but when I attempt to use --filter twice it only observres the first one.

gallery-dl --simulate https://www.patreon.com/url/posts --filter "not re.search(r'(?i)wip|t[ai]melapses?|PG|page|sale', filename)" --filter "date >= datetime(2024, 3, 1) or abort()"
