Generalization?

[Shadow53]

There isn't much of anything specific to game saves for this program. Generalizing a bit, the feature set looks like this:

• Define files/folders for a target/environment combination
• (Future item) Define a custom environment
  • Various rules for the environment
  • An option for the environment to apply whenever it matches or only when it is the most specific one
    • Implies some level of filesystem layering
• Bidirectional sync of files
• (Optional future item) Encryption

Definitions:

• Environment: the computer the program is running on
• Target: A specific folder/game/etc.

Terminology note to make things easier for myself later:

• "hoard": The top level of file collection. Think a .dotfiles folder.
• "pile": A sub-collection within a hoard. Think everything related to *vim or shell configuration within .dotfiles.

In relation to my own intended usage, it looks a little more like this:

• A user can have multiple hoards. I will probably start with two: "dotfiles" and "game-saves"
• A pile is a subsection of a hoard. In the "game-saves" hoard, each pile would be the files for a specific game. For "dotfiles" it would be the configuration for a specific application.
