Platform

Windows

Steps to reproduce

Export a server with --include-threads and do something that will give an error

Details

Fetching channels... Fetched 54 channel(s). Fetching threads... Fetched 334 thread(s). Attempted to export multiple channels, but the output path is neither a directory nor a template. If the provided output path is meant to be treated as a directory, make sure it ends with a slash. Provided output path: ...

It shouldn't check for errors only after fetching threads, which takes a long time. It should check for any errors before fetching anything. Currently it is frustrating having it to fetch threads and get an error, and having to fetch threads again to try to fix it.
