passing options to an input file

[freely2597]

is it possible to pass an option or filter to one of the urls in an input file?

there's one url in an input file that i want to run with a filter date flag but i don't know how to pass it to that singular url because i add the flag to my script but it'll run on the entire input file

Add a line starting with - before the input file URL.

https://example.org/1.jpg

- image-filter = "FILTER_EXPR_HERE"
https://example.org/2.jpg

https://example.org/3.jpg

For details:

Lines 398 to 425 in a9018d1

	"""Process an input file.
	Lines starting with '#' and empty lines will be ignored.
	Lines starting with '-' will be interpreted as a key-value pair
	separated by an '='. where
	'key' is a dot-separated option name and
	'value' is a JSON-parsable string.
	These configuration options will be applied
	while processing the next URL only.
	Lines starting with '-G' are the same as above, except these options
	will be applied for *all* following URLs, i.e. they are Global.
	Everything else will be used as a potential URL.
	Example input file:
	# settings global options
	-G base-directory = "/tmp/"
	-G skip = false
	# setting local options for the next URL
	-filename="spaces_are_optional.jpg"
	-skip = true
	https://example.org/
	# next URL uses default filename and 'skip' is false.

that worked thank you

do the links in the input file need that spacing between each other like in your example because i have it like this

example.com
example.com
- image-filter = ""
example.com

They don't need any spacing.

Like it says in the code:

• empty lines will be ignored
• spaces_are_optional

https://example.org/1.jpg
-image-filter="FILTER_EXPR_HERE"
https://example.org/2.jpg
https://example.org/3.jpg
