If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

It does not see them because that window is not a launcher but merely an IWAD picker. These files are PWADs.

Re: GZDoom didn't see some WADs
It's the IWAD selector, it's there to select an IWAD. Not just any regular old WAD.
It only detects standalone games; you will never see mods in this list. By default there's only the list in the wiki, plus files with the .iwad extension that have a valid IWADINFO lump.
You should probably look into using a frontend or launcher if you want a graphic interface to select mods like Death Foretold or so on.
