I've used this software for a good few months, for Twitter/X, and never had any issues until today suddenly. In fact, just this morning it downloaded content just fine but now when I just tried to DL another user's content it keeps outputting "0 download links found" which I found to be odd... then I tried another page, and another, and another, and all of them now say "0 download links found" including pages I had downloaded properly in the past (again, like earlier today).
So I go to update the cookies and user agent information to try again and then it tells me that I needed to update it because something was outdated relating to cookies (I dont remember what it said specifically, and it has never said it again).
So THEN I go to the main page to download the newest version, which is evidently Beta-0.88 (mine is Beta-0.87) and when I activate the .exe it gives me an error saying "CreateFile failed; code 3. The system cannot find the path specified." and then it cancels the install. I re-open the program and all messages relating to updates no longer exists, despite it still being Beta-0.87, yet it still keeps saying "0 download links found"? Bruh.
With all this said, I am currently left with a broken WFDownloader that cannot be used, fixed, restored, nor updated (uninstalling & re-installing also did not work)... despite it working completely fine just a few hours ago. What's the deal here? Every few months I have to keep hunting down new methods to download and archive favorite artist content from Twitter/X and then when it breaks I have to go hunt something new down... problem is, at this point there isnt anything else so I'd really would like to try fixing this, and would appreciate any help that could be offered.
Thank you!
