Downloading albums -- so grateful

[jbcodemonkey]

Consolidating a large collection of photos across two icloud accounts has proven very difficult: airdrop is cute if the material is local or small, but trying to share thousands of icloud photos and videos times out and fails every time. It's a mess, even if I try smaller batches of a hundred. Alternatively, downloading albums from icloud.com produces very large zip files, and all nested file dates are today, which makes the export significantly less useful.

Your scripts are exactly what I needed to get two large albums from two separate accounts locally so I can consolidate and produce video content from them. The dates the images were taken are set on the local filesystem as they should be. Thank you so much!!

I used this command for each icloud account and album:
sudo docker run -it --rm --name icloudpd -v /<docker root>/icloudpd/Photos:/data -e TZ=America/New_York icloudpd/icloudpd:latest icloudpd --directory '/data/<album name>' --folder-structure none --album '<album name>'

Being able to preview the files and paths with --only-print-filenames is also great.

One small potential addition:
If the --directory subfolder does not exist, the script fails with a 'path does not exist' error, even if the container has appropriate permissions to /data/.
It would be super if the script would automatically create that subfolder, just as is done with date folders.
