[BUG] Setting a default config does not seem to work, needs to be reset every time CDL is launched

[hydr0homiee]

Apologies if this is too early to report issues.

I cloned this fork and installed the library locally. I execute CDL from the same location as the other repo with my configs using cyberdrop-dl-patched

Upon start, I can see the config I've selected at the top, and in that config I have a path to a text file with URLs that isn't the default URL.txt. However when I start a download job, it creates a URL.txt file instead and doesn't download anything as that file is empty. I need to manually change the config to the one I've set as default before it loads in the correct input file. This has to be done every time I launch CDL.

Looking at the downloader.log file, I can see CDL load in the correct settings.json, but the printed settings and input file path doesn't match the input file path or setting I specified in the settings.json and instead looks like the default settings.

Below are the two downloader.log files. The first one is from a run where I start CDL and immediately start a download. The second one is where I first change the config, then start a download.

Immediate start:
downloader.log

Change config, then start:
downloader.log

All the "switch configs" logic was removed. There's still some parts of the UI that still mention it but I will eventually remove those as well.

As of right now it will always use the default URLs.txt path: Configs/{config}/URLs.txt

Eventually I will remove the input URL from the config settings. It will take me a few weeks to get that done.

You can still use/will be able to use --input-file before running CDL to use a custom file with URLs

I had a PR with all those changes ready (#19) but there were too many (10K+ lines of code changes). I'm slowly pushing change by change to the main branch

Ah okay, that explains a lot.

I'll probably hold off on using this new version till the config logic is sorted out in v10.0.0 as the default settings loaded use a different download location and structure. So I'd need to either set the config manually each time or copy the files over to my NAS.

Thanks for the quick reply and all your work on this, looking forward to when the new version is officially ready for use!

I gave it another try after I saw the filester fixes and it seems like sorting is broken. The download location I put in the settings.json is ignored and when I select the sort option from the main menu I get the following error
