Local file --banner and --profile not working

[lsolesen]

I am trying the following command

youtube2zim --api-key API_KEY --type playlist --id "PLkJ6LtaZYPrWaT4g1qmhLakYFkMOiWQFW" --name "just-dance" --format mp4 --output ./data/ --banner ./just-dance-1.jpg --profile ./logo.jpeg --description "Just Dance - have great fun while moving your body." --title "Just Dance"

But it returns this error:

When removing this it works:

--banner ./just-dance-1.jpg --profile ./logo.jpeg

However, I would like to add the banner and another profile image. How can I do this. I also tried with the full path to the image.

Thank you @lsolesen for your report. It's now fixed in main branch.

I can confirm that it works. However, the script deletes both the banner and the profile picture from the folder after running the script. Is that intended?

It is "intented" in the sense that this is what the code say ^^ But I agree it is probably not a good idea.
@rgaudin any reason to not copy them instead?

[rgaudin]

It's been there for a while but I see no reason not to copy instead.

I opened an issue to change this behavior
