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"
