Archive to skip already downloaded files

[andaisy95]

hello, first thank you for all who help to answer my questions and for the future. I am new and apologize for asking obvious questions. there are only two things that i need to have the perfect config i'll put only one here as the second need a different topic.

1- I want to skip the already downloaded ids or links.
what I sometimes do is download from search link and from author link which have a different directory . so sometime the same id is repeated in both. even if I have the archive it download them if i did it from search or from the author. so I thought is there a line where i should put if the id was used do not download or skip?
isn't there away that even if the directory is different, it shouldn't download the second time?

{
"extractor": {
"pixiv": {
"archive": "~/gallery-dl/archivepixiv.sqlite3",
"tags": "translated",
"image-filter": ["x_restrict"],
"directory": ["Pixiv", "{user[account]} {user[id]}", "{title}"],
"search": {
"directory": ["Pixiv", "search", "{search[word]}", "{user[account]} {user[id]}", "{title}"]
},

        "postprocessors": {
            "name": "metadata",
            "mode": "tags",
            "filter": "num == 0",
            "filename": "tags.txt"
        }
    }
}

}

Some (older) extractors, including pixiv, use different archive ID formats for different subcategories by default. In this case, regular posts use "{id}{suffix}.{extension}", while search results use "s_{search[word]}_{id}{num}.{extension}"

To have everything use the same archive ID format, add

"archive-format": "{id}{suffix}.{extension}",

to your main pixiv settings.

thank you for your help it worked perfectly.

is there a command for me to find the website archive-format ? asking so i would know for other websites

[Twi-Hard]

gallery-dl {URL} -E

[mikf]

  -E, --extractor-info        Print extractor defaults and settings

For example

$ gallery-dl -E https://www.pixiv.net/en/tags/Original
Category / Subcategory
  "pixiv" / "search"

Filename format (default):
  "{id}_p{num}.{extension}"

Directory format (default):
  ["{category}","search","{search[word]}"]

Archive format (default):
  "s_{search[word]}_{id}{num}.{extension}"
