Error with configuration file and metadata

[ReneRanzinger]

I am using the following configuration file for pixiv download:

{ "extractor":{ "base-directory":"./gallery-dl/", "pixiv":{ "archive":"E:/Images/gallery-dl/gallery-dl/archive-pixiv.sqlite3", "username":"xxx", "password":"xxx", "metadata":{ "mode":"tags", "extension":"txt" } } } }

When I run the command:
gallery-dl.exe -c gallery-dl.conf <pixivURL>
The images are downloaded but no metadata files are created. I tried moving the "metadata" json property around (into pixiv, extractor level or top level). All the same effect - no files.

If I run the command:
gallery-dl.exe -c gallery-dl.conf --write-tags --write-metadata <pixivURL>
Metadata files are created but the settings (txt file, tags) are ignored - JSon files with *.json extension are created. Again moving the "metadata" json property has no effect.

I am also sure it find the configuration file, since it creates the archive file.

Questions:

• What do I wrong with the metadata settings or is that something pixiv specific?
• Are their json properties in the configuration file that I can use to enable metadata and do not have to use the command line options (--write-tags --write-metadata)?

Instead of "metadata": ... you need to specify a list of postprocessor objects:

"postprocessors": [
  {"name": "metadata", "mode": "json"},
  {"name": "metadata", "mode": "tags"}
]

By the way: --write-metadata and --write-tags (actually all post-processor command-line options) are mutually exclusive with the way they are implemented at the moment. Only the last one takes effect. (fixed with e64773f)
