Jobs List

The Jobs page shows everything about your downloads such as what's running, what's done, and what went wrong.

Job Status

Running

Jobs currently in progress. You'll see:

• The job's status
• Real-time output if you click to view it

Completed

A job will show completed with a status of Success, Skipped, and/or Error

Success

Successfully finished downloads. Each shows:

• Success count: Number of files downloaded
• Skipped count: Number of files that were skipped
• Error count: Number of files that weren't downloaded due to an error

INFO

A job showing "5 success, 1 failed" means the job completed but ran into issues with one file. That's not a complete failure since the job still succeeded overall.

Skipped

Any URL that is skipped due to gallery-dl having a record of it being previously downloaded

Error

Jobs that failed completely (gallery-dl didn't even run, permissions issue, etc.)

Reading Job Statistics

Each job displays success/failed counts. Here's what they mean:

• "5 successes" = 5 files downloaded successfully
• "1 failed" = 1 file attempted but failed
• "0 failed" = Perfect run, everything worked

A job with "100 successes, 2 failed" is still a successful job overall but ran into issues on 2 items.

Interacting with Jobs

1. Click on any job
2. A modal appears showing the complete job output

Delete a Job

1. Click the trash/delete icon on a job (from the output modal or job list)

Delete All Jobs

There's a "Delete All" option to clear your entire job history at once. Use with caution since it can't be reversed.

INFO

Deleting a job using any method will never delete any downloaded files. There is no way to delete anything from your filesystem using gdluxx.

Sorting Jobs

You can sort your job list by:

• Date (newest or oldest first) (this is default)
• Status (completed, failed, running)
• Success/Failure count (most successful first, etc.)

Filtering Jobs

You can also filter by clicking the cards at the top of the job list

• Running All running jobs
• Success Jobs that were overall a success
• Skips Jobs that were skipped because gallery-dl already has a record of the URL
• Errors These are jobs that errored for some reason

Understanding Job Output

When you view a job's output, you see the raw gallery-dl output. It looks something like:

Process started with PID: 1376969
gallery-dl: Unsupported URL 'https://www.example.com/unsupported-url'

• this job will show as an error in the job list

---

Process started with PID: 1981369
/path/to/saved/image.jpg
✔ /path/to/saved/image.jpg
# /path/to/saved/image-2.jpg

• The check mark denotes a successful download (it will also be highlighted green)
• The pound indicates a skipped job (it will bea gray color)
• This job will show as a success (there will be indication of a skipped download)

Troubleshooting via Job Output

If a job failed completely

1. Click the job in the Error tab
2. View its output
3. Look for error messages (usually in red or marked ERROR)
4. Common issues:
   • Site requires authentication
   • URL was invalid
   • Network connection issue

If a job partially failed

1. View the job output
2. Look for specific items that failed
3. Try re-downloading just those URLs with different options
4. Check if the site requires authentication or has rate limits

TIP

You can re-run the URL with the --verbose option to get more info
