Bug Description

Double clicking a downloaded exe file imports wrong key, if the customer downloads the file multiple times.

rustdesk-host=rustdesk.example.com,key=kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=.exe
rustdesk-host=rustdesk.example.com,key=kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=(1).exe
rustdesk-host=rustdesk.example.com,key=kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=(2).exe
rustdesk-host=rustdesk.example.com,key=kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=(3).exe

This happens very often to my customer and should be corrected.
If you doubleclick on the second or third file the key will ends with (1) or (2).
Everything after the equal sign '=' should be removed on import.

How to Reproduce

Download rustdesk.exe with a key in the filename multiple times.
Doubleclick on the second download will create a key: kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=(1)

rustdesk-host=rustdesk.example.com,key=kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=.exe
rustdesk-host=rustdesk.example.com,key=kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=(1).exe

Expected Behavior

Doubleclick on the second download should create the key: kMtT+LvE4DH8ADjVP2OCNUw9i8e1llNCba8LdqjMX2M=
