Filename Modification Options

These options allow you to customize how the program generates filenames for downloaded content

Filename Modification Parameters

-g, --original

• Disables: Truncation of long file paths.

• Default: None (paths are truncated by default)

• Use case: You might want to use this option if you need to preserve the entire original file path for organizational purposes.

-tt, --text-type [argument]

• Sets: The type of unit used to determine the maximum length of the filename text placeholder

• Possible choices:

  • word: (default) Splits the filename text placeholder into words and considers word count for truncation.

  • letter: Considers the total number of characters in the filename text placeholder for truncation.

• Example: With -tt letter and -tl 10, text placeholder would be truncated to a maximum of 10 characters

-sr, --space-replacer [argument] (optional)

• Replaces: Spaces in the filename text with the specified character.

• Default: None (spaces are left as spaces)

• Use case: This can be helpful for creating filenames compatible with certain file systems or applications that disallow spaces.

• Example: With -sr _, spaces would be replaced with underscores (e.g., "This File.txt" becomes "This_File.txt").

-tl, --textlength [argument]

• Sets: The maximum length of the filename text placeholder

• Default: None (no limit on text length)

• Effect: Truncates text placeholders that exceed the specified length.

• Use case: This is useful for ensuring filenames adhere to character limitations imposed by some file systems, as text placeholders can easily go over OS limits

Note:

• These options work together to modify the final filename.

• If truncation occurs, it will be based on the chosen -tt type (word or letter) ,the provided -tl length, and the current OS
