Don't delete base game files that have outdated multicontent updates/dlc attached in favor of newer updates #90

Just a quick doubt in my mind that I like to see answered:

As you may know there are games that can be described as 'multicontent' meaning that the base game file already has an update or dlc bundle with it. What I've notice is that sometimes the update or dlc that comes attached with these multicontent files can get outdated and SLM reports on the issues ''old update file, newer update exist locally''. I think it should filter out this specifically issue because you wouldn't want to get rid of the base game file anyway which happens to be a multicontent file with outdated updates/dlc and surely want to avoid getting it deleted by SLM when you organize your folder with the option ''Delete old update files'' set to true.

I don't know if SLM has any checks in place to make sure that this doesn't happen or not.

Your request responded to my question if I should remove old updates, so the answer is no, as some old updates have multi-content inside, so this is why some of my games are getting the cloud icon on installation. thanks
