Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

Cant the date from the first post be used/updated/watched? Or atleast a sanity check if the update date is within 1 month of current date when version number changed.

Before the transfer to the new checker version when mods fixed release dates, it would find its way to the checker.

as i already explained in the lengthy message i sent a few minutes ago and many times before, that had its own numerous issues too. i proposed a compromise to you. im tired of bitching about this topic, im not gonna answer about this anymore.

So in the end the Last updated date comes from the "Latest Updates" or from the forum thread?
Since i see inconsistency.

With Matrix and Lust the dates seem to correlate what the Latest updates shows, but the irregularity then is the Tides, since the Updates page shows correct release date.

latest updates does not have a way to get information about a specific thread. closest thing is search. so my cache api does its best to search for the thread to find it in latest updates and get accurate info from there (including but not limited to the updated date). you can see for yourself that searching "Tides of Succession" returns no results in latest updates. latest updates search is funky in many ways, i did what i could to handle edge cases but still the search is buggy so it finds maybe 90% of all threads there, so for the other 10% it falls back to using information from the thread description.

nothing in life is ever black or white. i made it try its best to compromise and get the best results possible in as much cases as possible, it doesnt just "take it from here or from there" all the time. doesnt mean its perfect, perfect cannot exist here until f95zone makes a dedicated api that bypasses the need for my cache api, and i know and respect that this is very low priority and will not happen anytime soon if ever. can we please stop overthinking about a fucking date?

As far as my games are concerned, I seldom even look at the date they were updated. With 311 games, I only worry about the two checkboxes that tell me whether I installed the update and whether I finished playing it.

I don't even have the date updated column active since it makes no difference to me. My 2.719 cents worth.

btw for those that were asking for it, i found a crappy workaround to make tabs reorderable. its available in latest beta. i hate how its coded, but it seems to work surprisingly well for what it is

I'm not sure if it has been addressed, but can you make it so the labels can be sorted as well?

Gonna give it a test and see if the notification is fixed as well. or maybe is something on my PC who knows.

I noticed something:
I had my tabs in this order: [default], [Added], [Completed], [Abandoned] and others.
When I installed the new beta (11.1 beta 1610), the order of the first two tabs changed to [Added], [default], while the rest stayed the same. From what I understand, the [default] tab is unmovable (at least for me, it can't be moved), and now the [Added] tab also became unmovable since it ended up before the [default] tab.
So, I created a new tab and moved all the games from the [Added] tab there, then deleted [Added]. Now all tabs are movable again—except, of course, [default].

So, I assume that if tabs end up before the [default] tab, they also become unmovable.

this shouldnt be possible and i genuinely dont see any possible sequence of events that would lead to this happening... maybe ghosts are really real xD
ill think more about it, there has to be an explanation

i didnt change anything related to that so i doubt its fixed, but im out of ideas for now anyway

Got it, but i am curious if anyone else have notifications not working, cuz i haven't seen reports about that so far, or maybe i missed them.

I tried to reproduce it — I had a previous backup of \AppData\Roaming\f95checker, and previous build — but it didn’t happen again.
When I first encountered the issue, I thought none of the tabs were moving, because I only tried to swap the first two tabs ([Added] and [default]) and was going to post here about it. But then I tested the other tabs and saw that everything else worked. That’s when I realized


Maybe it's a one-in-a-million bug, but I figured I’d post about it just in case.

Now I am wondering something and i am not sure if it was suggested or not? It is possible to make the settings save file be in app directory? that way even on a new windows. linux etc will retain the settings

updates work by deleting everything in the installation directory, this wouldnt work. what you should do is place your f95checker data folder on a shared drive, and make a symlink to it in the appdata folder. thats what ive been doing for years to share the config
