0000235: [BASE] UpdateChecker doesn't detect new DriverPacks in the DriverPacks directory
I've noticed that if the DriverPacks BASE is open to the update checker page, and your remove the old outdated driverpacks and replace them with the new driverpacks and click refresh, it doesn't re-detect the packs and just displays the old packs. On the other hand, if i close the base after downloading the updated packs, then re-open it... it will find the new packs under the Update checker.
No tags attached.

It's not designed to re-detect the DriverPacks present in the 'DriverPacks' directory: the Refresh button is meant to refresh the UpdateChecker (which is useful when your firewall first blocked the program, then you enabled internet access for the DriverPacks BASE, then you hit the refresh button), not for refreshing the currently present DriverPacks.

I'll implement this in one of the next versions though.
