I did 👍🏻 Just saying something as basic as playlists should probably be present in alpha builds, let alone version 1, let alone version 4.4.9.

I was the one that said basic in the first place. @enricocid just decided to reinterpret what I said for some reason.

It's all in the docs: https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/configuration.rst#extractorytdlmodule https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/blob/master/docs/configuration.rst#extractortwittervideos etc. For yt-dlp/youtube-dl, make sure you're using the Python module, not the exe.

For some reason I assumed separators are customizable, but guess not. That's a pretty big bummer. I agree that this should be an option, but I'd go a step farther:...
