If i enable skip_live_photos will it still download the static normal photo and only skip the live/video part?

Hi, if skip_live_photos is set then it will skip both composite parts of the Live Photo.

However, what I'm unsure of, is if it will re-download the video part if the photo part exists on the disk. My initial feeling is that it wouldn't, as if a Live Photo is deleted, it only removes the photo and leaves the video part on the disk. I detect this manually in the script and can also remove these accompanying files if the delete_accompanying (IIRC) variable is true.

If this is the case, and the removal of the video part does not re-download on subsequent runs, I could introduce a new variable to remove the video part immediately after download.

Hi, thanks for the quick answer.

So if i understand correctly, if i set skip_live_photos to true, then it will completely ignore live photos?

What I want to achieve is to download the live photos but skip the video part of it and just download the static photo.

There's no way to download only the photo element of Live Photos.
