Configuration

aphrodite does its best to present the user with as much customization as possible. Almost that can be customized is customized (not appearance-wise, but function-wise).

General settings

These settings affect the application, or all types of downloads.

Setting name	Effect
Download Path	The path where the downloads will be stored. Due to the nature of the file schema (see the file schema page), it's recommended that this be as short as possible, as this program is not LongPathAware for compatibility with Windows 7. If any bypass is available for Windows 7, please open an issue.
Skip argument check form	By default, arguments display as a intermediary form before the main download form. If this option is disabled, it will instantly download the provided argument, if possible.
Argument form top-most	The argument check form will always appear above other windows.
Save image info files	This option saves information about every image in a download instance. The information is stored as a json file in the root of the download folder. This option is recommended to stay on, as the functionality of this program wildly increases with the information about the downloaded files being available.
Update existing info data	This option updates the existing info file, if it was modified since the last download. If this option is off, it will only append new info data to the info file. If an inconsistent file is moved to another designation, then the info will be updated.
Save download info	Saves the current settings and time of the download. These options are then used during re-downloading. Re-downloading requires the use saved download info option to be enabled for this to take effect. See the re-downloader wiki page for information about re-downloading.
Save multiple infos	Saves new file info data every download. This will not update the previous download info, but it will take up more space.
Open after downloading	Opens the download path if the download finishes successfully. Note: nothing to download errors are considered successful.
Don't notify finished downloads	Doesn't notify the user when the download is finishes, and disposes the form after the download completes. Note: I believe the download sound still plays with this option enabled.
Save graylisted images	Saves any files with the graylisted designation. This is globally applied to the tags, pages, and pools downloads. image downloads bypasses this option.
Remove empty directories after download	Removes any empty directories within the download path after the download finishes.
