Summary
Requesting a new flag, such as --skip-screenshots, to prevent the download of screenshot files. This would function similarly to the existing --skip-videos and --skip-live-photos parameters.
Context
Currently, screenshots clutter my primary photo backup. I am using the docker wrapper and attempted to use skip_album="Screenshots" and skip_library="Screenshots". This prevents the creation of a "Screenshots" folder but does not stop the files from downloading via the main "All Photos" stream.
If the iCloud API does not expose screenshots as a distinct media type in the root feed, an alternative could be a parameter to ignore specific file extensions (like .PNG) during the download process.
