PatreonDownloader 1.0.3 (build 2)

This release adds the ability to enter a custom working directory, as well as letting you enter the name of a subfolder that will be used. This is useful when downloading content from multiple creators.

All files, including posts.json and output.log will be placed in the subfolder, which should allow you to run multiple instances of this program concurrently, if you provide a different name - I have not tested this. In any case, it will help organize your downloads.

Update: The release package has been updated so that it now contains startup scripts for linux and windows.

PatreonDownloader 1.0.2

This release adds a null check in the media download stage, and improves logging overall.

PatreonDownloader 1.0.1

This release adds error handling if an unknown attribute is found in post data. It also adds support for post_tags attributes.

PatreonDownloader 1.0

This release is stable.

Regarding the previous release's memory issues: on some systems, memory usage may rise to and even exceed 2 GB, when downloading Dropbox links. This is normal. The memory is automatically reclaimed by the GC when deemed necessary. On systems where memory usage becomes a problem, this will happen a lot sooner.

PatreonDownloader 0.3.2

This releases fixes several bugs. It also allows you to resume downloading of media, rather than restart entirely, when the the previous download was interrupted.

The last issue remaining is copious memory usage when downloading media.

PatreonDownloader 0.3.1

This release adds error handling for the whole program. Instead of mysteriously exiting, the program now saves error details in Documents/PatreonDownloader/error.log, regardless of what happened.

PatreonDownloader 0.3

This version lets the program automatically extract your session token from Chrome and Firefox. There is also some internal restructuring of the code.

In theory, automated extraction of browser cookies may raise red flags in your antivirus. I encourage you to be paranoid about such a warning. Do not allow it simply because I say it's fine - read the source code.

Note: As of this version, porting to Linux or Mac may no longer be possible because we use a cryptography library to decrypt Chrome's cookie database, which is only available for Windows.

PatreonDownloader 0.2
