Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

[razfaz]

How do i port my current f95checker version to the new beta version with all my games and settings?

Strangely enough, there have been F95 changes for some time that are causing difficulties for the checker parser.

Personally, I think it's worth offering an official update.

After using tabs, I would like to see another feature.

There were several times when I was going through 1000+ games I had previously rejected.

• Most of the games I still rejected (moved to the tab: "Failed").
• Some of them I decided to add to my list (moved to the tab: "Current").

A lot of these games popped up with updates and the update screen showed the tab the games were on. I found myself going back to my list to find the game without removing my sort order and filters so I could move it to another tab from the list.

For convenience, I would love to see the tab name on the info page (displayed when you click on a game in your list), with an option to move the selected game from there to another tab. Maybe something simple such as displaying the Tab: i.e., "Current" and right-clicking to move the current game to another tab (similar to what exists in the list view).

I wonder if anybody else thinks this would be a feature that would work. If not, I can work around it.

Edit - current count: 136, Failed: 430, Abandoned: 271.

wish granted, i actually found myself in a similar situation, having to close the more info popup to move tab while sorting things out. to fit it in, i shuffled a few things around:
- moved items on right side of more info up by 1 line
- restructured exe section, now manage buttons are on the right side, on same line as first exe, if multiple exes they start from next line
- swapped type and forum score, this way the tab option is on same line as type (they use a similar looking widget, so its symmetric), also to avoid mislics of "clear exes" when trying to use the personal rating

with none/one exe:


with multiple exes:


i think its tidier and nicer to look at like this, aswell as more functional

Honestly, anyone who is serious about software and even hardware needs to have a GitHub account.
Use the free com!

PS: I owe all my tricky Arduino knowledge to the GitHub Community (No joke) as an example.
My personal goal is to gain and share usefull "Know". Period.

And on 1232, i still get an error but only when my PC goes to sleep mode overnight. Other then that works flawlessly... or as close to that. Will test next night with the yesterday build as well and see if the error appear again in the morning.

Not sure if this just is a problem on my end (using Build #1241), but some games aren't being updated or are being updated but to the wrong version. For example: Demon Deals was updated to 0.06.5 Public but is still listed as v0.06.5 Beta. Also, I was prompted with an update for Parasite Black but the version number stayed the same (it's listed as v0.156 but should be v0.157).

This issue might just be my lack of understanding the caching process, but still thought I should notify you.

I'm running into a strange UI bug that's fairly minor but annoying. Whenever I try adding multiple custom label filters, and then start removing them via the trash icon, the label that actually gets removed is the one before it in stack instead of itself. Is their a workaround for this?

searching rpdl throws error after installing new version BUILD #1249
not sure if it happened with BUILD #1229 (using it since sunday)
known good BUILD #1194 (using it since last week)

reverting back to known good BUILD #1194 gives the same error now.

Looks like rpdl is down

Looks like rpdl is down

Site is back up...

 

[ascsd]

rpdl is back online

one small feature request:



version is hidden behind the popup. so many times I forget to read the version, click rpdl, hit Esc, then click outside the modal, then remember i have to click ok. read the version number then check rpdl to make sure it has the latest.
Sometimes in that time ive already forgotten and have to do it a second time (i've got a memory problem)

could you add "latest update version: xxx" above the search box?
or shift the modal to below the version label but i assume thats not as easy


my hack is to resize f95checker thin

How to find the latest beta version -

1. Go to
   You must be registered to see the links
   and select Actions
   View attachment 4244202
2. Select the most recent workflow (1229 in this case)
   View attachment 4244204
3. Scroll down and select the Artifact that matches your OS to download the program
   View attachment 4244205
4. You will find a zip file within the zip file, extract the files to where you want to run the checker from. On first run it will create your datastore, etc. If upgrading it is a good idea to create a backup copy of your datastore first (the location is listed in the OP of this thread).

This was super helpful and WOW the new version is VERY fast I love it!

I have been using tabs for a while, I would like to change their order. Is that possible? When selecting Move to Tab > New tab, the new tab will always be created after the last tab.

If is currently not possible, a feature request to drag tabs left/right to change their order. Also, the same ability to reorder the label list in the context menu/sidebar would be appreciated, as I have several labels.

Tried putting it above the searchbox... didn't look nice... opted for this...



Not sure if the star icon should be added or not, since that's still going to be visible behind this popup.

I think keeping it consistent is a good idea, that looks good to me. And yeah I've had this same situation myself many times, good point ascsd
Might even be good to include game name and developer, even if they may be somewhat visible behind the popup its easier to just have them in the new popup
As for how to show these multiple values, I think having the name of the attribute is kinda a waste of space. I'm thinking, we could put something similar to how grid view does it, with icons and text after them, if text doesn't fit then move icon and text to next line
If you open a pr with what you have now FaceCrap ill get it done in a few hours

Unfortunately imgui, atleast the version we're currently using, doesn't let us change tab order. Tabs are fully handled by imgui, f95checker just retrieved what tabs exist and use the list for the "move to" menu. Maybe there could be some way to trick imgui into changing order, but that would likely take a lot of effort and I don't feel like investing that much into it when pyimgui is basically almost dead. The maintainer doesn't have enough time to work on it anymore, and those bindings are done by hand, so it's using a few years old version of imgui iirc. I plan to switch to imgui bundle, another module binding imgui for Python, which generates bindings automatically, means code will need lots of rework and will feel less pythonic, but atleast it will use new imgui versions and still get updates. When that switch is done, I'll try to look into reordering tabs
Or maybe, I'll even end up rewriting f95checker in another language: Python is too slow to make immediate mode GUIs efficiently, so it uses a decent amount of CPU

i just tested this, not happening here. i remember this being an issue in the past. i probably fixed it long ago, its in the beta, and youre on the old "stable" release.

caught the response as received by the checker when it was down, ill add a fail condition for this so you get a more meaningful error message

ascsd what do we think?

i feel like thats everything you could ever need while checking the downloads (some games have same name by different developers, and date is another way to make sure its a new torrent)
and it uses a similar style to the one in grid view, with icon + text (shows the name of the attribute like Name, Version, Last Update, Developer when hovering the icon)

what im not super sure about is how to handle when data is too long. grid view goes to next line when data is to long, but thats designed to have it happen multiple times in a small confined space, it looks a bit off here with so few details and a larger space:


but doing it without wrapping could become too long and go off screen in extreme cases where the text is longer than 90% of the window

but i guess thats fine? its just a reminder anyway, and developer is the least important info there imo

EDIT: that last one is what i committed to the PR, its gonna be rare to have details so long they go off screen anyway, and also means the rest of the popup is less cramped

then wouldn't attachments be broken for me period, not just in this app, but in general?

not sure if this applies to you, but Sam let me know about additional attachment hosts, app will now try those when main attachments host is unreachable:
