Applying file format string failed

I'm trying to make the reddit extractor work with the child extractors it spawns.
Here a condensed version of my config

"reddit": {
    "user": {
        "directory": ["reddit", "user", "{author}"],
        "filename": "{author}__{subreddit}__{id}__{title[:80]}{num:?__//>02}__{date}.{extension}"
     },
     "subreddit": {
         "directory": ["reddit", "subreddit", "{subreddit}"],
         "filename": "{title[:80]}{num:?__//>02}__{date}__{subreddit}__{id}__{author}.{extension}"
      },
      "parent-directory": true,
      "parent-metadata": "gdl_meta_reddit"
},
"redgifs": {
    "directory": {
        "'gdl_meta_reddit' in locals()": []
    },
    "filename": {
        "'gdl_meta_reddit' in locals() and gdl_meta_reddit[subcategory] == 'user'": "{gdl_meta_reddit[author]}__{gdl_meta_reddit[subreddit]}__{gdl_meta_reddit[id]}__{gdl_meta_reddit[title][:80]}{num:?__//>02}__{gdl_meta_reddit[date]}.{extension}",
        "'gdl_meta_reddit' in locals() and gdl_meta_reddit[subcategory] == 'subreddit'": "{gdl_meta_reddit[title][:80]}{num:?__//>02}__{gdl_meta_reddit[date]}__{gdl_meta_reddit[subreddit]}__{gdl_meta_reddit[id]}__{gdl_meta_reddit[author]}.{extension}"
    }
},

When the reddit extractor encounters a redgifs post and passes off to the redgifs extractor I get this error message

[redgifs][error] FilenameFormatError: Applying filename format string failed (KeyError: 'image')

The issue seems to be in the conditional filename 'gdl_meta_reddit' in locals() and gdl_meta_reddit[subcategory] == 'user'. When I remove the gdl_meta_reddit[subcategory] == 'user' part it works fine.

How do I make this work?

In your case your "parent-metadata" variable is named "gdl_meta_reddit".

Instead of gdl_meta_reddit[subcategory] use gdl_meta_reddit.get('subcategory').

Thank you! It works
