Request to not overwrite header images when upgrading theme

Hello! I've been using Atahualpa for over a year now, and I'm very happy with it. Thank you!

Is this the right place to ask for a change?

I use a custom header image, and every time I upgrade the theme, I have to go to my web hosting control panel and re-delete the standard header images, then re-upload the header image I use.

I would prefer for my custom header image to not be overwritten when I upgrade the theme.

Maybe there is a way to do this that I'm unaware of? I tried exporting my theme settings and importing them after the update, but the header was still overwritten. I'd be happy to do this each time if that is the appropriate place for this option???

Thanks!
