I know that is against many discussions we already had and I'm probably stepping on a minefield here, but:
Is ist possible to set a default action when the file to be downloaded already exists?
Something like 3 radio buttons:
- Overwrite
- Skip
- Add suffix

Currently a suffix '_1' is added before the extension.
An alternative option could be to just skip the download in the queue with a hint that it already exists.

I'm asking because some people (not me!) care a lot about "losing" tokens ... which is nonsense, because nobody actually pays for tokens ... all that is lost, are 36 minutes of time.

I know that adds more clutter to the UI, but currently the "Download queue" settings tab is quite empty ;)

To extend the request ... if the suffix could be editable, that would be awesome:thankyou:

Actually..... adding a suffix is a "panic action" when something went wrong before.
The way it is supposed to work: as soon as you press "download", AnyStream checks for existing files and asks you whether you want to skip existing files or overwrite them.
So normally - the way it is planned - the situation with adding a suffix shouldn't occur, it was merely added as a safety net in case something with the initial detection went wrong.

So... if you can tell me how exactly you managed to get AnyStream to add a suffix instead, we have a bug to fix.
 
I was able to reproduce it... but I'm not sure how, if it should work as you described :unsure:
Edit: I'm not asked to skip or overwrite at all

It would be useful to have this option for people downloading multiple audio.
When I subscripted to D+ I did my first ever multi-audio downloads and always had to move the files to prevent this message.
So it would be nice to have a third option to add this suffix instead of only being able to skip or overwrite.

Maybe it would be even possible to add the language string instead of a number, in my case the default is german and the second language was english, so AS should do movie_en.
