Add option to not overwrite previously existing files #167

Closed profucius closed 4 years ago

Feature request:

When downloading albums, discographies especially, the user may only be updating a pre-existing folder structure with the newest album(s)/single(s) from that artist. However, when downloading, BandcampDownloader currently overwrites all previously existing files, even when their name and tags are exactly the same.

Solution:

Add an option checkbox in the program settings to allow ignoring/skipping songs if the filename is 1:1 as expected.

This would obviously skip any updating of tags, etc, but it would certainly be better than downloading multiple gigabytes every time an artist's discography needs to be updated locally.

BandcampDownloader should do this check already. What's your value of this setting?

I've tried any value, default 5, all the way up to 100, and it still re-downloads the files, even though they are in the same folder from just being downloaded moments ago. I can demonstrate with a screen rec gif if you wish.

Oops I just read that you already reported this issue in the past. I must have missed it at the time, sorry. Closing this one, duplicate #124.
