Description
This will help deal with the ever-evolving nature of output filename format.
Visual similarity deduplication is a non-goal. Instead use content hashing to detect the same downloaded file.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing where a rip finishes and where downloaded folders and files are handled, then define how the option is enabled and where content hashes are compared. Done means duplicate files are detected by content at the end of a rip, while visual similarity is not used.
