Can't get custom formatting to work by editing the folder format. #4227

I used to use Danbooru Downloader by Nandaka, but since Sankaku is being asinine about being usable to the point I want to quit using it, I gave one last try for other downloaders, which is how I stumbled across this one. As you can imagine I don't want to start my collection over again from scratch, and so I would like to have the naming format matchup as close as possible, which I wouldn't mind toying around with, but it just won't work.

Underneath the Sankaku setting I took out bits and pieces of the folder format to see what would change, even going as far as removing it all, and...ah...nothing changed. It's still downloading in the same format it always has been even after I restart the program. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong, so I decided to post this just in case it's a bigger issue. If possible what format should I be using for the following format copied from Danbooru Downloader?

%provider%\%searchtag%\%rating% - %id%

You can't.

Tags and rating in the filename is not a good idea. It might be changed over time.

It would be better to use Tools - Duplicate image finder...
