Fixes #2259.
Stories could only be downloaded if
--login
was used. I changed this to either--login
or--load-cookies
, which also logs the user in.Otherwise the user needed to run Instaloader first just to import the cookies, and a second time (using the saved session) to actually download stories.
I've also changed error messages and the documentation in several places to refer to the process of logging in rather than to
--login
directly, but if you think that is too confusing, feel free to discard that commit.
