Type

  • General question or discussion
  • Propose a brand new feature
  • Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

Configuring extractors by hand is troublesome. Sometimes you just need to quickly run archivebox with some specific extractors. Instead of setting all the flags to disable the extractors, a flag that allows to select which extractors to run could be very convenient.

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

archivebox add --extract=wget,screenshot,singlefile

How badly do you want this new feature?

  • It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
  • It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
  • It would be nice to have eventually
