Export more than one less than all

[eirlon]

Hey, would it be possible to implement a way to select multiple playlists to export at once? I have a lot of saved playlist and naturally I just want to download the ones I've created but not even all of those anyways. I have folders with the playlists I want to download so a way to choose a playlist folder would also be helpful but really just want to be able to select multiple playlists at once but not all the playlists. thanks!

It’s probably possible if there is a way to fetch user playlist folders somehow, so I can figure out what’s in each. But I’m probably not going to implement this. Seems niche. I’ve never heard of folders before.

sorry if im misunderstanding but just clarifying. you said you'd probably not implement the folders situation. does that mean you also will not implement a way to select more than one playlist at a time in the current set up?

I think selecting a bunch and then hitting download is the same as clicking the download buttons for several in succession. That is unless clicking a subsequent button interrupts an ongoing download. I'm actually not sure whether it would.

I just tried, and it doesn't interrupt ongoing downloads. Good news.

My browser settings are such that all my downloads just go to the desktop or to the downloads folder, and I’m not prompted to give a filename and path each time. That would be annoying. See if that can help. Clicking in rapid succession becomes way easier when there isn’t a dialog popup. In the case you don’t want playlists by other authors, and those are a minority, you’d want a blacklist instead of a whitelist.

I have a few hundred playlists, but a few dozen of those are made by other people and I don't want to include that information. However, when you individually click export, the download starts (and the computer prompts you to select download location, name, etc) as soon as the file is ready. This causes an issue when you're trying to download many lists, but have to confirm the download settings each time (at least 2x the number of clicks and some mouse movement for what that's worth). I'm sure there's a way to work around this with my browser, but just wanted to chime in to say that I think a batch downloader would be useful. I also don't necessarily have a need to organize by folder, but I would also push back a bit against the idea that they're niche, I and many people I know have been using them for years. — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#69 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/ABLA2773IKNKVKRM4XE6L5T2K7BPBAVCNFSM6AAAAABREWH5V2VHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43URDJONRXK43TNFXW4Q3PNVWWK3TUHMYTCOBVGU4DINA> .
