Hello,

Recently switched to 4.3 from 3.7 or 3.8
when fetching and downloading with 4.3 it redownloads all the previous downloaded content with a _01 or _02 at the end of the file name.
both images and videos.
1018_20250325_103846_1904483087624323392.jpg - downloaded 2 months ago
1018_20250325_103846_1904483087624323392_01.jpg - downloaded recently

I also had to change the previous folder names from:
image -> images
video -> videos
gif -> gifs

Is there a way for me to prevent this?

Before using v4 or above, you must export the database with v3.9
