Feature description

yt-dlp conveniently adds the Youtube ID to downloaded file names (e.g. Foo Bar [XYZxyzaBcmo].webm), making it easy to identify the source of any given video. NewPipe should provide such an option.

Why do you want this feature?

Since I use NewPipe just as often as yt-dlp, it would be useful if it NP also appended that information.
