Cool, looking forward to it. If you care, a bit expanded version of this feature should allow:
no, too over the top. i made this tool with my own hands because all the other ones were too complciated, this is just too much. how the new version will handle it is that it remembers what version you marked as installed, so that when an update comes the tickmark is no longer checked, but you can still click play, and if it was a minor update you can choose to check the played toggle only, to remind you that you played the content but you dont have the exact latest version.
already implemented. all games have a 5 star rating, it is personal and not connected to the website in any way.
already present in current version, click on the game's name to open the more info panel, at the bottom you have a notes section. in the upcoming version its also available in the main list and grid views, if you choose to enable them
the version you are currently using is based on a json file, just take it from there (%appdata%\f95checker\f95checker.json). the upcoming version uses a real database system instead of that flimsy json that has corrupted so many peoples configs, so it might not be easy on the newer version. depending on how much you need it might not consider it, the upcoming version already has a way to export all games as a list of thread links, and also a way to import them that way too.
it still does yes. storing it in the install folder is not so practical because when an update comes it simply deletes that whole folder...
That can be a bit confusing when something breaks (since I'll likely have completely forgotten that I set it up that way lol), but that should work for me, thanks!
you need to add some games to it. the input bar at the bottom takes thread links, paste them in (must be the OP from f95zone) one at a time and click add
What do I do now? can i make it download to where these games are located on one of external 16TB disk? I have added every single renpy game i own yet, it will probably take a long time to populate this. does this client remember my games?
it does not read anything from disk. it does not manage your games. it does not download updates. it is simply a tool to get notified of game updates and keep track of what you have played and what you intend on playing (it can do more, especially the upcoming update, but those are the main goals of this tool)
it indeed is. when you open the new version it will read the previos version's data and convert it to the new version. i myself have over 300 games, but i know that comparred to some otherr users of this tool thats nothing. i would never put my users through such a pain xD
it really depends whether those backup files contain any useful information. if not, then theres nothing i can do and im very sorry for this. that json config system was cursed from the start and the upcoming update fixes all those issues with a proper stable database system. the issue wit hthe json is that if the program is stopped abruptly while saving the data, which is what happens when you force restart the pc, there is a high chance it will fail to write tothe file and therefore it will be empty. go ahead and check if those backup files are empty but most likely they are. what i suggest is using the beta for the upcoming version, you can get the latest beta build here

i know this isnt what you're asking about, but you can run the python script without a console with less hassle using
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "<path to python>\python.exe <path to script>\script.py", 0, True
Set WshShell = NothingThis seems to work better than using a .bat file, so thanks for telling me about this.
you can pin and change the program icon if you create a shortcut to the vbs script. and then change it in the shortcut's properties
