Please add single issue download

I've been searching for an automatic downloader for Heise magazines some years ago, but no avail. This changed. Thanks to you. :-)

I miss the feature to just get a single magazine, but fail to come up with a nice idea how to integrate this into the existing command line.

What do you think?

Hello @PoC-dev, you're welcome!

To download just a single magazine one could remove the for-loop

dl_for_heise/download.sh

Lines 74 to 76 in 2e59241

    
           for year in $(seq -f %g ${start_year} ${end_year}); do 
        
               $verbose && printf "${info} YEAR ${year}\n"  
        
               for i in $(seq -f %g 1 ${max_nr_of_magazines_per_year}); do

and instead assign a value to the year and issue number variables directly (or pass them to the script as arguments).

If you want to make this change, I would suggest saving your modifications to a separate file download_issue.sh, as unfortunately I don't have a heise subscription currently and could not review your changes to the original script.

To reduce redundancy, integrating it into the existing script would definitely be a nicer solution, but I think given the current size of the project we can go this path for now. if you want to prepare the code for a later merge, you could encapsulate the whole functionality for downloading one issue into a function that can either be called via the for-loop or directly.

Best,
Alexander

Thanks! After finally taking time to review the existing script, I ended up changing just the local names and directory structure to my liking. In the end, the existing script skips already downloaded issues, so I'm fine with that.

	for year in $(seq -f %g ${start_year} ${end_year}); do
	$verbose && printf "${info} YEAR ${year}\n"
	for i in $(seq -f %g 1 ${max_nr_of_magazines_per_year}); do
