FR: Optional download folder about metube

[alexta69]

But this feature exists -- if you click the arrow to the right of the Add button, you can add a custom subfolder. Is there anything wrong with it?

Hah, epic. I did not see it. I will give it a try

Hi!
Am I doing something wrong?

If I try to download something and I clikc the arrow and where it says "Custom name prefix" add some thing like this:
name/

A new directory name is created, but the files created will be created inside the new directory called name but it will created with a .

So the files will be hidden in the new directory.

looks like #413 and he said his OUTPUT_TEMPLATE was missing .%(ext)s

Thanks for your fast response @PikuZheng
The dot in the beggining appears and the extension too. I mean, I don't have any problem with the extension.

I tried with this in my docker compose file

    environment:
      - OUTPUT_TEMPLATE=%(title)s.%(ext)s 

And I still have the . in the begining of the file.
🤔

oh I see. if you want to download to subdir, why not create it and use Download Folder?

yes there is a · between custom_name_prefix and OUTPUT_TEMPLATE but why? @hellodword

metube/app/ytdl.py

Line 252 in 2ff7b09

output = self.config.OUTPUT_TEMPLATE if len(custom_name_prefix) == 0 else f'{custom_name_prefix}.{self.config.OUTPUT_TEMPLATE}'

Because I'll create the folders depending the download items. I've some "main" folders and then I want to create "dynamically" (manually) the folder name for that thinkg downlaoded.
If you have any other way to do this, I'm all ears.

And I'm happy to see that I'm not crazy and the dot is really there.
