    would be nice to have an option to toggle downloading files again - otherwise very nice and easy to use. Just have to figure out how to try and redownload files ive cleared from the download history... wish that was a clear feature/toggle

    This works very well! At first I was worried it would just scrap the page for the post images rather than the attachments on each post. But it got those as well!

    Is there any settings or anything that would let me specify I just want the attachments to each post? Or something that remembers the last time I checked this specific patreon page so it will not try to download everything from the past? I would like to organize the folder that everything was downloaded into but I worry it will just redownload everything once I delete or add folders to that 'patreon' folder it created.

    The addon attempts to keep track of the files it has already downloaded to avoid re-downloading them. This happens within the addon, regardless of your download folder's contents.
    However, there is an attachment option that would serve files in a way impossible for the addon to keep track of, hence those files will be downloaded again with every visit. You will recognize them by their file name, consisting of the timestamp of download and a randomized number.

    Edit: v1.8 auto failing download bug fixed in v1.10
    Still would prefer this to work more like "Downloader for OnlyFans" add-on where there are custom download buttons embedded onto the feed because re-installing Patreon Helper loses track of what's already downloaded.

    It has worked well with creators that had 500 total images or less and averages 20 photos per post. I've had problems with two creators. First one has a total of 11k images and average 30 photos per post, the add-on will download the first 15 or so post but then it won't download anymore even if I refresh or load more posts. Second one has 200 total images and has one image per post, it seems they upload different photos with reused filenames which I think messes up the add-on. It will skip photos and eventually stop downloading them. The add-on only seems to work on your homepage feed or creator's profile feed, not on individual posts (patreon.com/posts/ domain). These limitations might be because of how Patreon works and not the add-on but hope some can be worked around.
