[error?][furaffinity] Artist data not achieved

[rod-giovany]

note: i use google translate
There are certain image posts that do not show certain information about the artist, nor with the option -K or -j which would be {artist}, {artist_url} and sometimes {user}.
Specifically with files without a name or {title}; I do not know if this is how they were originally uploaded or is it a furaffinity error, but "filename" if it shows certain information.
example: (nsfw) https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612402

This is affecting the configuration of "directory" saving the files where it does not correspond.

my configuration would be:

C:\Users\Jonathan>gallery-dl --verbose https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612402 -E
[gallery-dl][debug] Version 1.17.5
[gallery-dl][debug] Python 3.9.5 - Windows-10-10.0.19043-SP0

[gallery-dl][debug] Starting InfoJob for 'https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612402'
[furaffinity][debug] Using FuraffinityPostExtractor for 'https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612402'
Category / Subcategory
  "furaffinity" / "post"
Filename format (custom):
  "{title} - {id}.{extension}"
Filename format (default):
  "{id} {title}.{extension}"

  ["{category}", "{artist}", "{subcategory}"]
Directory format (default):
  ["{category}", "{user!l}"]
Archive format (custom):
  " {filename} {id}"
Archive format (default):
  "{id}"

giving me for example:
"$HOME\gallery\furaffinity\Burgerkiss\gallery\a_-_35357600.jpg"

but what I get with the example file is:
"$HOME\gallery\furaffinity\gallery\_-_23612402.jpg"
or
"$HOME\gallery\furaffinity\post\_-_23612402.jpg"

in the terminal with the options -K is:

Keywords for filenames and --filter:
------------------------------------
artist

artist_url

category
  furaffinity

and with the metadata file in "mode":"json" and option -j

{
    "artist": "",
    "artist_url": "",
    "category": "furaffinity",
}

This clearly is FA's fault. If you look closely at this (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612402) page, you will see, that it has no title at all. This fucks up the gallery extractor.
How did this happen, I have no clue. I have extracted hundreds of thousands of images, and this is the first time I see an abnormality like this.
Just download this glitchy image manually and forget about this.

there are two other examples (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612419 and https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23612468).
but I don't understand why the {artist} or {artist_url} data does not appear

but I don't understand why the {artist} or {artist_url} data does not appear

Those two field come from a post's <title> and are empty if said title is missing.
Should be fixable by getting this information from somewhere else in the post page.

Try imagining the horror FA's system staff would feel if the title was a factor in how it's stored in the db, instead of the integer they use.

^ I'm sure they store the uploads as files instead of binary blobs in the db, but an UTF-8-using Linux wouldn't care anyways, so this is a weird but interesting problem.

Specifically with files without a name or {title}; I do not know if this is how they were originally uploaded or is it a furaffinity error

so i guess it's both

[Wiiplay123]

Why not get the artist info from the element that's inside the HTML element with the class="classic-submission-title information"? It contains the title every time, even when the title doesn't.

@rod-giovany you might want to use "{title:?/ - /}{id}.{extension}" as filename format string to account for empty titles. With your current settings they'd come out as - 12345.jpg, with {title:?/ - /} they'd just be 12345.jpg
