[Query] Query on Recent Masternode Snapshot Alterations

I have a question regarding the mainnet snapshot of the masternode. Previously, when I unzipped the file, an XDC directory was created in the current directory, containing a large number of ldb files. However, when I try it now, the XDC directory is not created, and a large number of files appear directly in the current directory. Has the handling of the snapshot changed? Previously, after unzipping, I believe the XDC directory that was created was moved to the xdcchain directory.

We usally take the snapshot of the XDC directory but while taking the last snap shot instead of taking the snapshot of XDC directory we took the snapshot of XDC/chaindata so what you can do is delete the chaindata folder first and then create a new chaindata folder and then unzip the xdcchain.tar file inside the chaindata directory and then up your node.

Thank you for your polite response. Yes, I ended up doing the same thing. However, I wanted to know if this is just for this time or if it will be the same for next time and beyond. Personally, I prefer to get snapshots in the XDC directory I'm familiar with.

It's for this time only when the new snapshot will be updated snapshot will be of XDC directory only.
