When clicking "Download Purchased Tab" avatar and header photos aren't being downloaded even though I have

  Media {
    DownloadAvatarHeaderPhoto = true
  }

A lot of my purchases comes from creators I'm no longer subscribed to, and I'd still like these files downloaded.

I don't think the "Download Purchased Tab" should download anything except media from the purchased tab. That seems like the expected behavior based on wording of the menu option.

If you want to download the avatar and header photos, you should be able to do so by ensuring the IncludeExpiredSubscriptions config option is enabled. Then use the "Select All" or "Custom" menu options to scrape the users and download the desired content.

I'll note in addition to what @whimsical-c4lic0 said (which I completely agree with) that if you're specifically looking for this functionality because the purchased tab scraper can pull content from deleted users (while all other scrape options cannot), that's just not possible. Literally the only thing that remains when a user is deleted are the PPVs that you unlocked from them before the deletion.

I'm going to close this as invalid. If there's a super compelling reason that this really needs to be implemented, we can reopen it, but i just don't see it.
