Purpose
Bug Fix
When a dataset created on one device was pushed to the cloud and then pulled on a new device, media files were always re-downloaded—even if they already existed in the local
mediafolder. This didn’t corrupt any data, but it caused unnecessary loading delays.Before pulling from the cloud, verify whether each media file already exists in
local_dir/<dataset_name>/media/and skip downloads for files that are present.Performance Improvement
Loader startup and cloud-pull operations are now much faster, reducing overall load times.
