Thomas	9fb112faa8	Fix issue 892 Save content using original filenames (PR 893) (#1025 ) - When a post contained sidecars, the filename for caption, json etc. was changed. It was no longer the original filename like before. - If the post contains sidecars, a local variable is used to build the filenames for the sidecar media.	2021-02-20 10:17:57 +01:00
Alexander Graf	f85e49d521	Spare unnecessary full metadata fetch This fetch was done for sidecar posts that contain a video when going through a profile. The fetched information is already present with the new profile query introduced in the last commit, making this full metadata fetch query unnecessary. Instaloader now better evaluates if that fetch must be done or not. The fetch was also (eventually unnecessarily) made when accessing get_sidecar_posts() on a Post that has been loaded with load_structure_from_file().	2021-02-17 16:40:54 +01:00
Thomas	6c4da39372	Update the query_hash for post downloads (#1026 ) - It's necessary because for the old query_hash IG isn't returning the full structure any more. - So the old query_hash is replaced with the current one.	2021-02-17 16:07:18 +01:00
