[COMMUNITY] Question about using the jav-it

Hi I'm a newbie and I need help using the program. 

I'm using the latest version and I'm using WIndow 11.

I followed the step and the screen shows that the output directory does not exist.  I'm saving  the program and open them from the D: partition.  Is that what makes it error?  Appreciate any help to fix this.  Thanks!


The batch file -- which is named "download.bat" doesn't do well if it is saved somewhere with spaces in the folder name. For instance, D:\your folder name\jav-it.  You can do two things here

move the jav-it folder somewhere where it's not in a folder which has spaces in the name, not even nested as in D\:folder one\folder\jav-it

Edit the batch file -- if you know how to do that, you're already advanced so i'll keep that short. change the %CD% (current directory parsers) to "%CD%". The thing basically errors because CMD expects something like "D:\your folder name\" instead of D:\your folder name. 


It works!  Thanks so much!

Easy to follow? Errrrrr no it's not, the guide goes straight to using download.bat and catalog.bat without even telling you how your supposed to put those 2 files inside the same folder as javit.exe

What I need is for it to catalog my 3000 ish titles and then download them all to an external HDD as the primary backup before R18 closes.

So no what I am seeing is not easy to follow, I can't even change my file location on the command prompt to where the folder is...

This program isn't for the technophobes. It's a CLI - Command Line Interface tool. And the guy who made it is *eventually* gonna make a GUI but that's still a ways off.

There is a way for that, but i'd recommend supporting the dude on patreon and hopping in the discord to ask. This is possible, but batch downloading isn't a part of the free version.

Using the paid version you can achieve this.
