Ignores new downloads if existing file has the same file name

[reyqune]

Wabbajack ignores modlist files that have the same name as an already downloaded modlist file.

if an already downloaded modlist is called modlist.wabbajack and you attempt to update by downloading the new version which also happens to be called modlist.wabbajack, the application will just ignore the new file, and continue with the previous already downloaded one.

This seems to stem from the devs of Wabbajack being so used to the built in "publish" functionality. That they forgot that there are other use cases for downloading modlist files, like having it self hosted, or uploading the file manually.

The downloaded file should either replace the old one, or be renamed as modlist(X).wabbajack where the X increases depending on how many other existing modlist files there happens to be in the folder.

4.0.5.1 (but seems to be an issue that has existed for some time now with several verisons of Wabbajack)

A better approach would be a comparison of the downloaded hash and the expected file hash as a check to prevent that issue.

Until something is implemented in software a working workaround would be to add the version number to the file name before uploading.
