timppu: You use the "clean" command to remove old obsolete files from your local GOG files, files that don't exist anymore on the GOG servers (ie. are not in your updated manifest file anymore).

Actually it doesn't remove the obsolete files outright, but moves them into a separate !oprhaned-directory, which you can later check and delete all the files in it, if you want.
Oh I see, thank you for the info.

The README.md files only mentioned a "clean" command in the TODO list, so I just ignored it.
I see that the program's -h parameter lists it correctly, instead.

Btw lol, the clean command reported 581Gb of orphaned data (just the games).. I created a backup recently, so I wasted a bunch of time and space for nothing -_-'

P.s: I'd like to keep the non-Scumvm installers too, is there a list somewhere?
EDIT: Magog can do it, but I don't know which versions are still the DOS ones..
Are custom subfolders safe in the "!oprhaned" dir?

I just issued a tiny pull request back to kalanyr's repo [not yet accepted of course], though I guess I should have based it off the dev branch (I didn't know it was there). I added a -errorsonly feature to verify, so it only displays errors, and not skips/goods). I can actually meaningfully use verify now without having to parse a huge log after!

What's in the dev branch that's not in master?

You can get a comparison here:

Sorry, GOG does not like the Github comparison links at all. Had to find a URL shortener.

For some reason, I had to bootstrap pip today again after a Synology update and reinstall html5lib. Just a warning if someone runs the script on their NAS drive:
disi@disi-syno:/volume1/ISO/GOG$ wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
disi@disi-syno:/volume1/ISO/GOG$ sudo python get-pip.py
disi@disi-syno:/volume1/ISO/GOG$ sudo pip install html5lib

not sure if its right place to ask (but have no other choice - due to good old bug, I cant create forum threads again), but does anybody know if gogdb provide correct hash sums? There was at least 3 times when I wasnt sure about integrity of my locally saved data, but had no access to gogrepopy, nor internet connection on anything but smartphone (and since my operator inject ads and other bs into traffic, I would be REALLY glad to avoid logging into my gog account (to download related xmls by myself) this way)

also, back to gogrepo.
As far as I know - when something goes wrong with connection, it retries 3 times, then silently abort. Maybe print some unique text if download was aborted due to interruption? So I ll be able to grep this catchphrase from tee's output file and force the very same script to restart from where it has failed (instead of spamming gog with complete list of scripts few times per each day)

I haven't run gogrepo for a couple of months, bought some games in the meantime and I know oodles of DOSBox games were also updated in the meantime (cloud save integration awhile back)...

...so yeah, yesterday I started downloading, about 340GB to download. Yikes! I guess it takes several days over my measly 10Gbps cable modem line. Oh well, I just let it run...

This just reminds me again that it would be nice to see the estimated remaining time when you are downloading a lot, not really knowing (without calculating) whether it will take a day or a week. Last summer I was inspecting how to add such functionality to gogrepo myself but got sidetracked. It _shouldn't_ be too hard because gogrepo already calculates the total amount of data to download all the time, I just couldn't easily figure out how to calculate the combined download speed.

After that it should be pretty straightforward, the net is full of good algorithms how to calculate the remaining download time (taking into account the fluctuating download speed, of course).

this thread feels kinda abandoned. I wonder why

I need to get a list of all IDs, I currently have. At the moment I use such pile of code to perform so:
python ./gogrepo.py download -os windows linux -lang en -skipgalaxy -skipstandalone -skipshared -skipextras
However, there is a problem - it create folders with '!info.txt' inside for each ID. Which kinda messes up my local library, coz I lose track of what I already have locally and what I didnt download yet. Thus - is there a better way to check for IDs?

With 'IDs', do you mean the lower case titles that are used as directory names?

If so, how about this (provided you have grep, sed and sort installed): grep "'title'" gog-manifest.dat | sed -e "s/\s*'title':\s*'\([^']*\).*/\1/" | sort

THANKS SO MUCH. I never understood sed's magic to make something like that by my own, so this will come extremely handy!

can anybody suggest me a good way to check if there are updates I've downloaded but not installed? I thought about tracking it via checking the contains of orphaned folder. But maybe there is a better solution?

Gekko_Dekko:
I use this as my find: It only searches TITLE.

grep -E "^.*u'title'.*$1*" ./gog-manifest.dat

user@machine ~/gog/gogrepo4 $ ./gog-find brother
u'title': u'my_brother_rabbit'},
u'title': u'pilot_brothers'},
