Unwanted languages downloaded

[PoloDePoli]

On my set-up (and ever since) I have updated the manifest through python gogrepoc update -os windows -lang en.
When downloading the games via python gogrepoc download, other languages beyond english are downloaded

E.g.

1. Master of Magic Classic: french and german were also downloaded
2. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Game:
   • br, de, fr, jp, pl, ru language packs;
   • bonus packs in french, german, italian, polish, russian & spanish
3. Project Eden: french manual
4. Syndicate: french manual and reference card
5. Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures: german manual and reference card
6. The Witcher: italian, polish & german manual and game guides
7. • other like the above examples

Is this the expected behaviour?

Extras (eg manuals) don't have languages specificied so they always get included if extras are allowed. Some of these could get tagged heuristically but extras don't have well defined naming conventions. And GOG for some reason doesn't tag language pack patches with their language, so they just look like patches. I could probably tag nearly all of these heuristically. Given that: I would have to check Master of Magic Classic (sometimes languages/OSes that aren't officially supported get included as extras, so it's probably correct behaviour). The others are are as expected.

Thanks - for old games the extra languages are not too bad, however for newer ones (e.g. The Witcher) it can become quite a significant size (~30gb) of unwanted material

[Kalanyr]

Yeah, it's not ideal. You should be able to use the -skip flag I think it is to specify filenames to skip, I *think* it allows wild cards (*?).

So I would use -skip bonus_pack_*.zip *french* *german* *italian* *polish* *russian* building an extensive list of all the files I do not want?

And would that be for the update command or for the download command?

[Kalanyr]

It's not that sophisticated unfortunately. Wildcards match all matches and can't be constrained like that unfortunately. Though english extras usually skip language tagging in the name at all so you rarely have to worry about false positives there.

I did just have a look at Master of Magic Classic, and the behaviour with French/German are "correct" in that they are indeed supplied as unsupported extras, so gogrepoc treats them as languageless extras .
