v1.9.0

This update focuses on extending game support

New game support

With savemanager-manifest the detection system will now, like other tools be able to find 10000+ games on your system.

Information

Due to the lack of downloads of the MacOS version I will pause development there for the forseeable future..

Core

• Added

  • Automatic update check on startup (configurable)
  • Detection settings (show_conflicts & skip_empty_files)
  • Configurable .savemgr-ignore file to support custom exclusions of certain filenames, directories or extensions from detection per game

• Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where Minecraft saves from any launcher did not restore properly on windows (#13)
  • Fixed an issue where some Minecraft saves were not being detected properly (#14)
  • Fixed an issue where Anno save games were no longer being detected properly (#17)
  • Fixed an issue where incorrect games were found by the Rockstar Games detector

• Changes

  • Improved logging even further to help identify issues more clearly
  • Expanded interal save blocklist to combat false positive detections as mentioned in (#16)

GUI

• Added

  • 'Delete' button on the list of savefiles (Has a confirm dialog)
  • 'Duplicate' button on the list of savefiles and backups
  • 'Preview' button on the list of savefiles and backups
  • 'Save' button within the settings tab
  • 'Create Filter' button on all game rows (Part of the savemgr-ignore system)
  • Detection progress indicator in the toolbar

• Fixed

  • Fixed the dashboard pop-in to loading regression, games are not streamed in again!
    • the game list is disabled during scans to avoid any conflicts
  • Fixed an issue where the application window did not respect the last position and size of the window
  • Fixed an issue with the detection time display text
  • Fixed an issue with seperators showing up when not needed
  • Fixed a log spam when a backup was deleted externally
  • FIxed an issue where the game count was counting games that got filterered out
  • Fixed a missing style pop before returning in the backup restore button
  • Fixed an issue where Rockstar Games profiles folder detection could fail due to a permission error
  • Fixed an issue where the app background did not comply with the lightmode setting
  • FIxed an issue where the shader did not work with the already broken lightmode.

• Performance

  • Cache basic file info to avoid recomputing them 100's of times per frame which caused unnessesary disk io work

• Changes

  • Lowered the minimum resolution from 1280x720 to 1024x576
  • Improved the dashboard by putting the found saves in a collapsable section
  • Added a small notice when no backups have been created yet
  • File sizes are now shown properly as B, KB, MB and GB
  • Removed the 'publisher' entry on a game entry in release builds, leaving just save and backup count

Other

General

• SaveManager now has an icon! (MacOS and Windows)

Known Issues

• Mass backup / individual Minecraft world backup creation blocks the UI and program exit

Development

• Removed some dead code in the GUI such as; CMenuBar, CStatusBar etc.. non user facing changes
• Created a CDetectionService class to unify detection for consumers such as the GUI
• Refactored a lot of the internals of the detection system
