No worries, thanks for clearing that up and thanks for the praise.

Always good to get some feedback. :)

Timboli: GOG Folders v1.2

This is just a standalone version of the popup window you get with the SUB button on my GUI.
So instructions for that are mostly the same.
I actually haven't used this particular program much yet, and it was designed more for my requirements, than those of others, and I had forgotten that one aspect (Updates) was significantly different, using a list of files with checkboxes instead of just moving specific file types.

I'd also not bothered to cater for Linux and Mac files, because in my scenario they wouldn't exist in my game folders, having already been relocated to specific backup drives and folders for them.

So today, I decided to update my program to be more suitable for others.
I'm not providing the update just yet (GOG Folders v1.3), because I've not gotten around to any testing.

I've added in options for Linux and Mac, as well as two other new options, Texts and DLCs.

The DLCs option in particular, has some ramifications for the Updates option, as it also uses the list of files with checkboxes, and if enabled takes priority over the Updates option, relegating that to just a move of remaining EXE and BIN files, plus any other OS files not yet relocated. This is for a scenario where you just want to create a single folder called DLCs for all the game's DLCs, rather than use the other specific DLC folders option.

I've also moved things around a bit, to improve usage. See the attached screenshot.

As per last post, GOG Folders v1.2 has now been updated to GOG Folders v1.3.

See the previous download link (updated) for the download ... 3 posts back.

During some testing, I realized I hadn't accounted for some things, and so have done so now, plus added some improvements that came to mind.

Still only minimal testing, but have decided it should be okay enough.

The attached screenshot shows the significant differences.

GOGcli GUI v9.4 update is now available from MEGA via Rebrandly.

NOTE - This is just an improvement to the Create Sub-Folders window, with me having borrowed some aspects of my GOG Folders program, which was based on Create Sub-Folders anyway, but with added benefits, so we have now come full circle, importing some of those back.

Virtually all controls (buttons & fields) have been relocated position wise on the window, to help with usage, and the Updates checkbox now operates as a regular three state checkbox (ticked/block/blank), cycling through the states.

Two more checkboxes were added - DLCs and Texts

DOWNLOAD

See the screenshot to see how it all looks now.

Enjoy!

Is there any way to download the entire game faster? I am getting a speed of 5 Mb/s which is taking most of the day to download a 65 GB game. I see references to "Download All" and to building a manifest. perhaps multiple threads per file, or perhaps download all of the files at the same time? I haven't successfully figured out how to download more than one game yet either. Thanks much for help to whoever knows the answer.

The gogcli.exe program is a single download thread one, and my GUI is deliberately set to only download one game at a time.

You can however, leverage either aria2 or Free Download Manager with curl.exe, which my program supports. Both those programs, unlike curl.exe or gogcli.exe, support multiple download threads. It is tricky to get Free Download Manager working, and much simpler to just use aria2, though it seems to be limited to just 5 threads, unlike Free Download Manager 5 which can do more. So aria2 (aria2c.exe) with curl.exe should be a big improvement for you.
