Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When downloading roms that are zipped, after grout unzips the rom files, its no longer marked as downloaded.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have Grout continue to mark roms as downloaded after being extracted.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Trying to remember what i have installed, using a spreadsheet to track them.

    Is your game name unzipped have the same name as the zip ?

    Yes and No. Most of the time the games are named identically to their zip. However, there are games like some PSX games that have the CD Audio accompanying it. In that case the .bin files are appended with (Track 1) etc.

    Do you have some example of zip name, and extracted file names ?

    Since grout doesn't store what have been downloaded, it relies exclusively on files name in the roms directories.
    And I don't have many games in my RomM instance, the two games with multi file zip that i have are:

    ├── Digimon World 3
    │  ├── Digimon World 3 (France).bin
    │  └── Digimon World 3 (France).cue
    ├── Digimon World 3.7z
    

    and

    ├── Final Fantasy IX (France)
    │   ├── Final Fantasy IX (France) (Disc 1).chd
    │   ├── Final Fantasy IX (France) (Disc 2).chd
    │   ├── Final Fantasy IX (France) (Disc 3).chd
    │   ├── Final Fantasy IX (France) (Disc 4).chd
    │   └── Final Fantasy IX (France).m3u
    └── Final Fantasy IX (France).zip
