Instaloader: Store stories in subdirectory?

[ealgase]

The current command that I run is instaloader @myname --dirname-pattern "~instaarchive/{target}" --stories --highlights --tagged --comments --login=myname --fast-update". While this successfully downloads all files, stories appear in ~/instaarchive/profile instead of ~/instaarchive/profile/stories. Is there a way to do this?

Currently it's not possible, it is however a suggested feature, see #253.
Until it's been implemented you could strip --stories from your invocation and separately run: instaloader --dirname-pattern "~instaarchive/{target}/stories" :stories --login=myname

[ealgase]

Wouldn't {target} just be :stories in this case?

[e5150]

My mistake, the pattern should be "~instaarchive/{profile}/stories".
