@mikf Since you just added FUNDING.yml, I'd be willing to put $5 in the tip jar to make this a priority. I've been holding off on scraping kemono.party waiting for this feature.

The idea is I want to set the filenames back to {id}_{title}_{filename}.{extension} and I'd use compare with enumerate. This works great for the initial run, but consecutive runs have no way of stopping automatically without redownloading everything.

@mikf I noticed you added this suggestion to the action setting instead, but based it off replace. As I mentioned above though, I needed it for enumerate.

I sent the tip as promised, but unfortunately I still can't do what I was hoping to.

@ImportTaste https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/commit/df8050b81de71f5981b2109864d9191ec39fdb34 moves abort/terminate/exit to their own separate equal option (it triggers when files compare as equal). Hopefully that's more useful than https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/commit/cdd72e14139f059674a640d1ab11d9bf0f5bd469.
