Consider the possibility of downloading only originals #4

Hi,

I'm using your fabulous program to create a local backup from my gopro+ data on a Synology NAS. Everything works perfects so far. But as the program downloads every version of the GoPro+ content, the downloaded data is quite large.

I'd prefer to only download the original files, ignoring the proxy files or thumbnails. Is this thinkable?

Thanks for your work! Michael

That's an interesting idea. I wanted to capture all of the data available because some of the derivatives were quite useful, but I also ran out of space. :)

I think it's only slightly tricky as I think some types of media have different ways to fetch originals, but I've not looked at that in a while. It's easy enough for me to do some offline analysis on that and confirm.

I think the one case that was particularly interesting to me was time lapse images represented as video, but I should be able to do something somewhat sensible here.

Thanks for the good idea.
