When was skippatches removed?

[gitscosh]

I recently updated from an older version of your script, and when I tried to run it today with my typical py -2 gogrepoc.py download -skipgalaxy -skippatches -lang en -os windows mac I got the unrecognized argument message. Sure enough, searching through the python script, it has been removed. The old version (I don't remember which one, but I have the file downloaded) included it. Is there another way to accomplish the same thing? Why was skippatches removed?

I suspect you were using a fork, I don't think this project has ever had that functionality (it did have something similar but that functionality doesn't work now that galaxy installers have been removed). GOG doesn't actually clearly distinguish patches from other installers in a machine readable fashion (it's sorta doable with some pattern matching and heuristics) so I've been leery to implement it in the past but I think I'm gonna have to bite that bullet.

That is SUPER weird. Because I looked in the header of the file and the only info is this:

__appname__ = 'gogrepo.py'
__author__ = 'eddie3,kalynr'
__version__ = 'k0.3a'
__url__ = 'https://github.com/kalanyr/gogrepo'

I looked at all the current forks off of your project and can't seem to find which one it was. Oh, well. Sorry for the confusion!

I would ask for this functionality, the amount of wasted space because of patches is enormous, i just measured my collection, around 112GB was just patch files. Cyberpunk alone has > 15GB patch files.

At least for windows patches it should be quite possible, all files appear to start with "patch_" and end with ".exe" (or ".bin" additionally for really big patches, like Cyberpunk).

If you would consider merging this i would be more than happy to provide a PR.

// edit: I created PR #47 for an initial version. works pretty well on my setup.

-skipfiles does this just fine and already exists.
