Option to skip file if name already exists
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, if a download goes bad, breaks, or RMD otherwise crashes, then on the next run a downloaded media file gets the name:
name.ext.ext
Then if you crash again, you get:
name.ext.ext.ext
And so on.
Describe the solution you'd like:
Provide an option that says "If a file exists with the same base name (minus the extension) as an existing file, then skip downloading the file.
Additional context:
Please?
This is a consequence of the way this version of RMD tracks files. This has been fixed in the rewrite, which should greatly enhance file handling.
Very exciting. When can we get a look at it?
The rewrite is under active development in the rmd-typescript branch of this project. It's runnable at the moment in a developer mode for early testing purposes, but I don't consider it stable yet and can't offer backwards compatibility when the first real release happens.
@shadowmoose , could you give guidance on how someone might patch the current version to prevent this issue?
