Using url-metadata

[github-account1111]

I want to record the download url into metadata for each file. Relevant config portion:

{
  "extractor": {
    "reddit": {
      "url-metadata": "reddit.com{permalink}"
    }
  }
}

Based on the description, I assumed it would insert it in the Title field, but that one is is empty for every file I checked.

You have to set it to the name of the JSON field you want to save the file url into.
Example, if you set it to "gallery_dl_file_url" then a new "gallery_dl_file_url" entry will appear in the metadata json that gallery-dl creates.

Any suggestions on how to improve this option's description when it gets misunderstood like that in its current form? Maybe just add an example?

Personally I think the description is just fine.. but yeah, maybe an example would help.

FYI, because I just stumbled upon this again:
parent-metadata could definitely use some improved example(s) here as well 😄
