When doing a complete download of my games and extras, DLCs are not included

[bfaurot]

When doing a complete download of my games and extras, DLCs are not included. The manuals and soundtracks and other extras download. I don't see any mention of this in the documentation. Am I using the script incorrectly or, is this not an included feature in the script?

DLC is usually considered an Installer rather than an Extra and so will generally be with the installation files.

Thank you for the response. Once I knew what was supposed to occur, I tested updating one id and it worked. It was skipped when just doing an update with no specificity. I need to recreate my manifest file occasionally.

Not sure if this is the case here, but there is one scenario I come across where DLCS do end up missing - if you buy the DLC after you've previously done an update for the base game. This command detects changes to game metadata, but doesn't seem to detect DLC purchases. So after I've bought DLC, I usually issue a separate update with -ids to force a full update of that particular game which will then update the manifest with the DLC data, followed by the usual download, clean and verify to pull down the new files.

Once in a blue moon I also start from scratch with update -full just in case I've forgotten to update a particular title or just to correct any other errors that creep in. But as that takes an awfully long time given the size of my GoG library it is something I only do once or twice a year.

As I said, not sure if this the case, but perhaps the info will help!

Thank you both for your replies. This was the case. When I updated using the specific id the dlcs were added to the manifest. I need to recreate the manifest to catch all my dlc purchases.
