Bug/Feature request: Skip non-existend users while downloading from list (like in solved #1011) about pixivutil2 HOT 5 CLOSED

Please disregard my previous posts. I think I have an answer. We both made assumptions and I think we were both wrong.

Pixivutil2 actually sorts lists. If my list.txt file contains:

200
4
5
3
1
2

It will process them in the numerical order 1,2,3,4,5,200.

I am now 99% sure that your member id 81858474 was the highest ID on your list if you sort it. Please verify the other member ids on your list that came after this member id and check the logs to see if they were processed.

Thank you and sorry for the late response. You are correct. Pixivutil2 seems actually to react like I prefer.
I checked it now with shorter lists and different examples.

I wasn't aware, that the list was sorted in the background and therefore when I checked the last view entries in my list against the last console outputs, it looked like it stopped before finishing. To top it off, "81858474" was the highest number in my list, as you suspected, and therefore was processed last, confounding my confusion with the missing user error (from the middle of my list) right before it finished.

This is intended behavior. It should never simply skip a user because they don't exist, PixivUtil2 is trying to tell you there is a problem when there is a problem. The problem is the Pixiv user does not exist. Therefore, the problem lies with your list, not PixivUtil2. Remove the user from the list or double check to ensure you have the correct user ID.

I disagree with your view but it's of course a reasonable workaround (for now).
My reasons for the suggested behavior are, that when I want to use a list, I expect the program to download all (available) users in it and not stop at the first problem if it could just have continued.
In my case, I went to sleep, expecting it would download 20 users but when I woke up, I noticed, that it had only done 4 before stopping because of the missing user.
The biggest problem is, that you can't be sure, when a user deletes its profile. This could even happen in the few seconds between creating a new list and starting the download, and there is no reliable way to prevent that.

You can still be notified about the errors at the end of all other downloads, as I suggested. Stopping in between seems not so useful. Especially as it is a catchable "error" and not a real problem within the program.

I'm not sure if you know, but if you choose option 1, and put in a space delimited sentence xxx yyy zzz of users, it works like this:

Input: 1
Member ids: 81858474 33706539
Start Page (default=1):
End Page (default= 0, 0 for no limit):
Including Pixiv Sketch.

The error is there to inform you your list is bad so you can correct it. Otherwise, use option 1.

EDIT: I stand corrected, I can not reproduce this behavior with option 4 either:
