This command +takes that json export (referred to as `export.json`), finds all the urls +that contain `wallhaven.cc/w` (i.e. all urls that are wallhaven images) and +passes them to gallery-dl. Gallery-dl then neatly downloads all of those images +in their original quality. + +This workflow could be made better by creating a version of tab session manager +that exports in a simpler (or more configurable format), and I could also turn +this into a script that takes the wanted website formats as an argument. +Invocation of the script might look something like: +```zsh +tabsession-dl --format "wallhaven.cc/w" --format "reddit.com/r" \ + --input-file export.json +``` |
