[Config Question][Reddit] How to only download comment media from the post author?

[Ikkoru]

I had assumed it would be something easy like twitter's "image-filter": "author is user",, but after looking at a reddit post's JSON I can't figure out how to do that.
The JSON of the comment's author looks like this:

	"comment": {
        "replies": {
          "data": {
            "children": [
              {
                "data": {
                  "replies": {
                    "data": {
                      "children": [
                        {
                          "data": {
                            "replies": {
                              "data": {
                                "children": [
                                  {
                                    "data": {
                                      "author": "Dangthing",
                                    },
...etc.

The chain can be arbitrarily long, and unfortunately I don't know enough about python expressions to figure this out.

Could you provide an example URL so I can take a look?

I'm trying to DL all media by this user. Some of the images are in the comments. With the following config, I'm getting images from other users:

"reddit":
{
	"#": "Note: Reddit's API limits every listing to the first 1000 items. issues/671",
	"client-id"	: null,
	"user-agent": null,
	"refresh-token": "token_here",
	"base-directory": "Z:\\Visual Media\\[Pics]\\[Artists]\\",
	"filename"	: "{date:%Y.%m.%d %H-%M-%S} {num:>02} {title:[b:173]}.{extension}",
	"directory"	: ["Reddit", "{author}"],
	"comments"	: 100,
	"morecomments": true,
	"sleep-request": "2.0-3.0",
	"archive"	: "$HOME/SQL_{category}.sqlite3",
	"skip"		: "abort:10",
	"whitelist": ["imgur", "redgifs"],
	"parent-directory": true,
	"parent-metadata": "_reddit"
},

Example of comment media from a random user that gets DLed that I don't want

With b225018, it should be possible with

"image-filter": "not comment or comment['author'] == author"

With b225018, it should be possible with

"image-filter": "not comment or comment['author'] == author"

Used it. This got DLed with the filename None 01 None.jpg.
My filename string is {date:%Y.%m.%d %H-%M-%S} {num:>02} {title:[b:173]}.{extension}.

Also, I just noticed, but doesn't "image-filter": "not comment or comment['author'] == author" ignore comments that are on other user's posts (although it didn't in this case)?
Is there a way to download a specific user's media regardless of if it's a post, a comment on their post, or a comment on another's post?

I don't now how the API/extractor works, but a user's page contains all the media that should be downloaded in the case of DLing the user's media. Is there no way to get that directly without going into posts and having to use image-filter?

[Ikkoru]

Still an issue.

Just for clarification, a reddit's user page/user profile URL is not working for you?
Or is this about media/linked content only found in a comment thread?

[Ikkoru]

When I specify a user profile as the link using the config below (expecting to DL a user's post and comment images) I successfully get the images from both, but comment images have broken filenames: None o2bwnfg 01 None.gif.

Also, as I noted, I think "image-filter": "not comment or comment['author'] == author" misses the target user's comments on the posts of others.
