Variety is downloading .json files for images from different sources

[Adrian Skar]

Variety 0.4.21.
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64-bit
Gnome 3.10.1

So Variety is downloading .json files along images and it does not delete them when folder size limit is reached but it does delete the old images.
It happens from different feeds/sources (wallhaven and deviantart)

Not deleting the json files is an omission which I will fix.

But it normally creates json files only if it cannot save the metadata directly in the image itself and this should happen rarely, just for non-jpeg, non-png images. If you have a json for every image Variety downloads then something is going wrong.

Please run it from a terminal with the "-v" option and attach here the log file it produces after several downloads (~/.config/variety/variety.log).

It doesn't happen on every image but here's the log I've found:
