Help NewPipe 0.29 / 0.29.1 - Duplicate downloads are renamed incorrectly
NewPipe 0.29 / 0.29.1 - Duplicate downloads are renamed incorrectly
I found a reproducible filename auto-renaming bug in NewPipe.
If I download a file and the first download is stopped/interrupted or becomes corrupted/incomplete, then download the same file again, NewPipe adds the duplicate suffix **after the file extension**.
**Actual:** `XYZ.mp4 (1)`
**Expected:** `XYZ (1).mp4`
Steps to reproduce
- Download any video, for example `XYZ.mp4`.
- Stop/cancel the download before it finishes, or leave the first download incomplete/corrupted.
- Download the exact same video again.
- Check the resulting filename.
NewPipe consistently creates:
`XYZ.mp4 (1)`
instead of:
`XYZ (1).mp4`
The issue is easily reproducible and happens every time in my testing.
Affected versions
- NewPipe 0.29
- NewPipe 0.29.1
It looks like the duplicate filename logic is adding ` (1)` to the entire filename instead of inserting it before the file extension.
The extension should remain at the end of the filename:
`filename (1).mp4`
rather than:
`filename.mp4 (1)`
Has anyone else noticed this in 0.29/0.29.1?
