Version 1.0.0 - The First Public Release!

This is the first stable release of the HOI4 Save File Viewer, a modern desktop application for viewing, searching, converting, and comparing Hearts of Iron 4 (.hoi4) save files.

It's built for modders, content creators, and gamers who want a powerful, user-friendly tool to explore their campaigns.


Key Features

  • 🌳 Interactive Tree View: Displays the entire save file in a clean, expandable tree structure.
  • ⚡ Instant Search: A powerful, real-time search bar that filters the entire tree to find keys or values in seconds.
  • 💾 Converter Tool: Save the loaded data as a human-readable plain-text file or a structured .json file for analysis.
  • ↔️ Save File Comparison (Diff Tool): Open a second file to see a color-coded view of what was added, removed, or modified between saves.
  • ✨ Professional UI: A clean, thematic dark mode and smart, user-friendly features like automatically finding your save folder.
  • 🚀 Fast & Responsive: Built with multi-threading to ensure the UI never freezes, even on massive late-game saves.
