I've finally gotten around to update my GOG Downloader. Until now I've been using the beta version. But when I'm running the new software it doesn't show my downloaded files. Is there a work around to this problem? I'd rather not download all those install-files again. :-)

The Downloader will not show the list of games you bought. It's merely to download games from your shelf on GOG.com.
I think he means that the new GOG Downloader won't show what was downloaded with the beta version of the downloader, which would mean he'd have to download the install files again just to have the downloader recognize the games he already downloaded in the first place.

Exactly! :-)

Thanks for the reply Fallen_Zen, but as cpubasic13 explained, my problem is that the new GOG Downloader doesn't detect my already downloaded install-files in the default folder.
I don't understand why you would want the already downloaded games to appear in the Downloader, and why you would need to download the files again if they don't..
You do know that you run the installers without the Downloader, right?

I think he just wants an easy way to keep track of what he's downloaded and what he hasn't. I agree, it would be nice. Of course, you can always look in your file system, and now that I think of it, I never use the downloader anyway, but I might start to if its features make it worthwile.

Spot on, Wishbone. I suppose I should edit this post into being more of a suggestion rather than an actual problem. :-)
As long as they're in exactly the right place and with exactly the right names, telling the downloader to redownload them might actually make it pick up on them. This is just wild speculation, but it might work depending on how the downloader detects partially downloaded files for resuming.
