+### v2.35.2 (08-Sep-2022)
+
+- Updated usage guide to mention the need to enable "Message Content Intent" to use a bot as a medium for exporting messages.
+- [CLI] Fixed an issue where passing an existing directory as the output path failed when exporting multiple channels (for example, when running `exportdm`). An ambiguous output path will now always be treated as a directory path if that directory already exists. If it doesn't exist, it will be treated as a file path, matching the previous behavior.
+
 ### v2.35.1 (26-Aug-2022)
 
 - Added `~` character as an alias for `-` when negating a message filter. This should make it easier to use negated filters from CLI where the dash character already has other meanings.

 - Added a new option that enables self-contained exports for all output formats. You can turn it on in the export setup dialog in GUI or using the `--media` option in CLI. When using this, the application will additionally download any media content directly referenced from the exported file instead of linking back to Discord CDN. The files which are downloaded include: guild icons, user avatars, attachments, embedded images, reaction emoji. Note that only files which are actually referenced by the export are downloaded, which means that, for example, user avatars will not be downloaded when using plain text export format. This option is not meant to enable complete offline viewing for HTML exports, but rather to make it easier to archive media content that may eventually get deleted from Discord servers. Also keep in mind that this option may make the export drastically slower and the total file size larger.
 - Changed "discordapp.com" to "discord.com" where applicable as Discord is migrating to a new domain. CDN will remain on "cdn.discordapp.com" for the foreseeable future.
 
-Note that all existing and current HTML exports will likely not render accurately because Discord enabled CORS for their font resources, which prevents them from loading locally. Please refer to [issue #322](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/issues/322) for discussion on this topic.

 It works with direct messages, group messages, and server channels, and supports Discord's dialect of markdown as well as all other rich media features.
