So anyone have any experience with the Patch notification functionality?
The way I use the dloader; I add the game, and after it finishes dloading and verifying the file I delete it from the dloader. Then I move the game files from the "GOG Downloads" folder, to another folder for finished ready to install GOG games.
Specifically, what I'd like to know:
1) Can I still delete the game download from the downloader list? Or will the downloader use that to check for patches only on the stuff I have downloaded?
2) Can I still move the files from the Download folder elsewhere? Or does the downloader check the file I have on HD for version?
Asking as I will do fresh install and can organize folders more conveniently.
Also because l have several games downloaded ages ago, and wondering if the dloader can help check they are the latest version.
Cheers
Update notification is currently work in progress - please see here
As for how it will work - notification about updates (game patch or some new goodies) will be pushed from your account to the downloader, not the other way, therefore it doesn't matter if you have the game currently downloaded - we don't want to force people to keep the entire collection on their hard drives and scan it constantly for this to work, as the Downloader is optional
