Description

Sometimes creators and their works change names. If a user has these parameters in filenames or folder names, they can have duplicate files and folders. In my case, I have several folders of the same artist by ID. One for each instance they changed their name. if their title/name in the DB doesn't match the information from the server, then the existing file can be renamed and also must be updated in the database.

you want to automatically rename the previously downloaded files?

I have the same problem and I guess change filename settings likes filenameformat in config.ini might help. Remove artist name and only use member_id as directory name. Also use urlFilename as filename only.

Bump. I want to change file name format and this would help retrofit this new format to old images. Deleting and redownloading just to rename would be a nightmare.
