Possibility to add an option to download only games and ignore patches? #104

Hello,

While reviewing the code/options available I may have answered myself my question. But I was wondering if there was a possibility to skip patches of games and just download the new full release of it where there is an update or during the initial download?

I assume that can be done with simply using -skipfiles, and that it is probably the intended way. So sorry if I asked the question for nothing!

Thanks in advance for your time! And for this great project :)

Use -skipfiles patch_*

Keep in mind that not all games are up to date and I'm not talking generally. I'm saying that sometimes a patch is the only way to get to the latest version.

I assumed it was like that in the end, thank you for the confirmation :)

And that is a very good point, I did not knew about that and own some of the listed games! In the end keeping the patches seem more safe. Thank you for the warning! A few more GB isn't the worst in the end :)
