Ignore Options

exclude_audio

Type	Default
bool	false

When this is set to true, the program will skip downloading audio files.

exclude_images

Type	Default
bool	false

When this is set to true, the program will skip downloading image files.

exclude_videos

Type	Default
bool	false

When this is set to true, the program will skip downloading video files.

exclude_other

Type	Default
bool	false

When this is set to true, the program will skip downloading non media files files.

exclude_files_with_no_extension

Type	Default
bool	true

When this is set to true, the program will skip downloading files without an extension.

CDL internally assumes any file without an extension is an .mp4 file. That means any option that applies to videos like --exclude-videos and --minimum-video-size will apply to them. The actual file will still be downloaded without an extension

filename_regex_filter

Type	Default
NonEmptyStr or null	null

Any download with a filename that matches this regex expression will be skipped

ignore_coomer_ads

Type	Default
bool	false

When this is set to true, CDL will skip posts marked as #ad by models.

Despite the name, this option affects all kemono based sites (Nekohouse, Kemono and Coomer)

This requires fetching all posts with the tag #ad first and them filter them out from the normal ones. This means at least 1 additional request per profile is needed, depending on how many ads the profile has.

ignore_coomer_post_content

Type	Default
bool	true

When this is set to false, CDL will scan the text inside each post for URLs and process them.

Despite the name, this option affects all kemono based sites (Nekohouse, Kemono and Coomer)

This requires making 50x more requests when downloading an entire profile. Only enable this option if you actually need it
