csv file is populated with already downloaded activities

[cristian5th]

Hello all.

When executing the script on already downloaded activities, the file will not be re-downloaded again, but the activity data will be appended to the csv file, creating doubles and worst.

I find solution to be pretty simple but I don't know how to propose it via GitHub. This has always been a big mystery to me. Do you know to point me to some instructions for dummies?

I'm just adding a return TRUE or FALSE to the function export_data_file. FALSE is returned when the file already exists; TRUE is returned at any other case.

In the main program, I also invert the functions to write the file and write the csv data with an if clause, like this:

# Save the file and inform if it already existed. If the file already existed, do not append the record to the csv
if export_data_file(str(actvty['activityId']), activity_details, args, start_time_seconds, append_desc, actvty['startTimeLocal']):
    # Write stats to CSV.
    csv_write_record(csv_filter, extract, actvty, details, activity_type_name, event_type_name)

Thank you for all your work on this splendid script.

Best regards.
