Folder structure with year / month for facebook account seems not working

[zero0n3]

Hello

based on this thread 6508# , I needed to download photos from a facebook account.

Before adding it to the list, I first ran the -K command to see the username and date tags to configure the appropriate extractor in the json configuration file.

It turned out that the photo examined by the -K command has the tag:

date
2025-01-24 10:59:47

so I inserted into the extractor

"extractor": {
   "facebook": {
      "directory": ["{category}", "{username}", "{date:%Y}", "{date:%m}"]
   }
}

despite this, however, it returns the None\None folders instead of the year and month.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a problem with the fb extractor?

Thanks

The latter. directory format strings are currently evaluated only once, at the very start, before any date metadata is available.

Yes. Commit acaae40 makes it possible to access date values in directory format strings.
