Same file with identical content gets downloaded again every time Moodle-DL is executed about moodle-dl HOT 5 OPEN

😅 There is probably something changing in the html file (that gets stripped out in markdown).
Do you know how to debug python?

Sorry I am not really a programmer. I can code basic scripts but not sophisticated softwares like Moodle-DL. However, I can probably get whatever info you need if instruction is given.

Please send me a screenshot of your course. Can it be that you have multiple lessons with the same name?

Mh I just tested it to have two lessons with the same name. For me it works, without redownloading. So I guess it is really something changing in the description of the lessons.

Its pretty funny that moodle adds links to the other lessons with the same name to the description ^^ (at least for one other lesson with the same name). If you have more than two lessons with the same name in the same section the links kind of make no sense. But moodle-dl downloads them correctly.
Edit: Correcting myself, moodle does not refer to lessons with same name. That was because I used the name of the lesson in the description. The links were generated by the auot linking feature: https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Auto-linking

So I need a call with you, so we can debug this together. Maybe on discord. Contact me via mail please

you could also provide my the files that get always updated (including the old files) maybe I see there what is changing.

I wonder even, what "Lesson 1 exer.md" should be? Because moodle-dl normaly does not create such names.
