List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

1. in filename format use (autonumber)
2. download more than on file via GUI
3. ..

What is the expected behaviour ?

one would think that not every file is numbered with 1, but first with "1", second with "2" etc

What happens instead ?

every download is numbered with "1"

1. make (autonumber) work when downloading more than one video like a user would expect by using the "--autonumber-start" option youtube-dl has and increase the valut for ech video by 1
2. nice to have: offer the option "--autonumber-start" in your gui, so a user can start with a value greater than 1

thank you!

every download is numbered with

"00001"

I have a dirty hack that does this, but it looks like the way the codebase works right now it might require some substantial reorganization to do it cleanly and "properly" :(
