Media DB overwrites file when you create it again instead of asking if it should overwrite first

What I’m trying to do

im using obsidian on my Android phone. I’m using media DB to create my own list of all games movies series books and board games I’ve played or wanna play. and I add them to their own folder but sometimes I forget that I added a game or maybe even pressed it by mistake and if I already had it in my vault it will just completely overwrite it and delete the old one without prompting me first if I wanna overwrite or not so that leads to it deleting files with their metadata as well. even thought media DB code has it that it should prompt you first if you wanna overwrite or not but this doesn’t seem to work on phones.

Things I have tried

I looked everywhere on the internet for a solution but didn’t find one I also tried to create my own plugin using AI I created multiple ones but none of them worked they always ruined something. I also tried contacting the plug-in creator but he didn’t respond.

How did you contact the creator? Did you properly file an issue on the plugin’s Github page? That would be the correct way. And there is an open issue related to this already where you could add a comment.

What version of the plugin are you using? Have you updated since March 7 when that confirmation feature was added? (Maybe it wasn’t implemented on phones yet. I don’t know.)

yes I filed it the right way. the issue in that forum is different because the feature wasn’t available at all at that time but now it’s supposed to be working but isn’t working on android. and yes I have the latest update
