Just started using this, imported using watched threads, removed a few non-game entries, list is now at 255 games.

I would like some tips/suggestions on how to organize my library with this tool.
Like Tab and Label, or folder structure within the game directory I use for F95 games.

can do pretty much whatever you like, whatever feels most natural to you. could even not organize at all xD
for game directory make sure to select it in manage > set exe dir. then best idea is to have game folders inside it named without version numbers, so after updates you can just swap in the new files and the executable path is still valid. a few good ideas are to just have games/game name, or have something more complicated/structured like games/developer name/game name, when you click to add a new exe it can fuzzy match both of these cases, and start the filebrowser directly inside that subdirectory. you could even include the type, like games/RenPy/developer name/game name, or just games/RenPy/game name.
for library, depends what you need most. what i do is have tabs for main genres/types of games, and same for labels (yeah its "duplicate" information, but sometimes multiple labels to apply to one game that primarily fits more into one tab than another); also have labels for things like mods and unlock codes so i remember to check those after updates.
but ive seen people use tabs as a way to separate between "actively playing" and "avoid" and so on.
i guess it depends how much organization overhead you want, and what you want to see at a glance. could go all out with labels for every single aspect that youre interested in almost like tags, or it could be plain simple like "good" and "meh"

It depends on your personal preferences. I use folders on the same drive to store the games in, I move the base folder for a game to the appropriate folder be it: Active, Updates, Current, Completed.

In the checker I use tabs for categories, New, Current, Tools, and Mod downloads (if it's on their own thread).

I use labels for status, which mod I use for the game, or "no mod", whether I'm waiting on a mod (some modders take a while to update). There's no sense in using labels for specific tags since you can apply a filter on them.
My 3 cents worth.

EDIT: i pushed the change to start detecting and caching reviews on the f95indexer api, and latest beta build can show them too. but of course, it will not show them on all games yet, it will gradually start showing on more and more games as their cache expires over the next 7 days. also its possible that theres some issue with how i implemented it, so if there are errors with the cache api thats probably it and ill fix it asap

EDIT: speak of the devil, that just happened xD. some threads have reviews disabled and it redirects, didnt account for that. fixed now

Hello
I lost my HDD and also all the data from F95Checker. Is there any way to get the data back so I don't have to enter it manually? That's a lot of games. And not all imports in F95Checker don't work. I was thinking of scanning the game directory, for example.
Thanks for the help.

You can use File Explorer to search for *.url then drag the results into the box on the page Manage/Import/thread links

That's not going to work. The checker doesn't scan your disk for games.
If you happen to have your games bookmarked in a browser and those bookmarks survived you can import those. If you bookmarked them in the forum you can import these, same if you marked them 'watched'.

I only had a few games not in my bookmarks or my watchlist. I managed to do it somehow, although it was probably half done manually. Thank you both so much for your help.

heh sorry
windows 10
check that your antivirus didnt delete any .dll or .exe files from inside the program folder. the webengine runs with its own dedicated process by Qt, maybe antivirus flagged it. or maybe antivirus is blocking network access to it.
if all files are there as intended, also try to enable software webview in browser settings sidebar
