Add an option to create an output folder for encoded files and *not* a ZIP file.

It would be good if there were an option in YouBit’s encode method that allows the user to choose between returning the standard output (a ZIP file) and writing the contents directly to a specific folder. Right now, it is only possible to create a ZIP file, unzip it afterwards and then delete the ZIP file. This is pretty cumbersome and not very good when it comes to terms like speed and sparing your HDD or SSD from a lot of reading and writing operations.

This could defintely be added. I don't have time for this right now but I'd be happy to approve a PR.

What do you mean by “PR”? A programmer? I haven’t used Python in the past and have only watched one or two tutorial videos so far. But I know that it is not difficult to learn Python. I have Java, C, R and various BASIC dialect skills. Also, time is an issue for me as well. First, I should study the code and understand what it is doing at the relevant lines that should be changed in order to add such a feature.

PR means Pull Request.
You're under no obligation to make contributions. I'm just saying I don't want to write it, but if you do, I'd approve the code.

Ah, the good old pull request, I see. As I wrote, I do not know whether I have time for that either. But if I understand how the program works and understand what the Python code is doing, I might consider editing your code in a separate pull request.
