So here's the scenario:
1. I purchase a game from gog.com via browser.
2. Gog galaxy is running in the background
3. In order to install the game from gog galaxy I need to exit the app and start it again.

Is there a 'refresh' button somewhere in the gog galaxy app?
Have you tried pressing 'Sync integrations' under the gear icon in the top left corner?
