I think that's because that game is likely the only one where that section is called "Changelogs" instead of "Changelog".

Actually there are a lot of issues, like it doesn't have the dev name in title (after version in []).

it is described in detail in the FAQ in OP. it remembers both the version you had marked as installed, aswell as the version you marked as finished playing. it could happen that your installed version is outdated, and you had not finished playing the installed version either, in this situation both checkboxes would be "half". in your case there, it has marked the version you currently have installed as fully finished playing, but it knows there is a new update available.
i hope you are not switching back and forth between versions. this *will* cause issues. never downgrade unless specifically told to do so. since the checkboxes work differently in 11.x, it takes some time of you marking updates as installed and finished playing for them to start making more sense. going back to previous versions will destroy that progress and only confuse you even more.
again, check FAQ for intended usage.

i see what happened. there is still this old bug i mentioned before, where after like a month of the cache api being online, the latest updates watcher just stops for no apparent reason, i noticed some things were showing up in latest updates but not detected within 5 mins, so i could tell this is what was wrong, checked the server and indeed it has stopped watching latest updates 10 days ago.
so what happened is: latest updates were not being watched, so it did not notice the new info when it was published, it noticed the new version with the 12-hourly version check, and so it detected the update. however, when it detected the new version, the update had not been promoted to latest updates yet, so it had the old date, and when it did get promoted it did not notice this because the updates watcher was broken.
im confident this shouldnt happen again: i made the cache api restart the python process every 24 hours, so the updates watcher will no longer manage to get stuck; also, ive made the latest updates watcher (the 5 minute one that should do the heavy lifting for detecting updates) check the first 4 pages of each category instead of only 1, so it should be able to detect most changes for the 360 most recent games on latest updates within 5 minutes always now. for those not in the first 360 by update date, there is ofcourse the usual 12-hour version check, and the 7-day max cache validity.

I was just thinking that I should make a f95 update checker and it was right at the top of the tools and tutorials section lol
Than help develop it and add directory scan for game executable. It took me hours just to add my favorite games I have many other games that I can't add as it will take too damn long.

it is explained in the FAQ, and it is labelled as "finished" checkbox in many places in the program itself. it is to mark the currently installed game version as fully finished playing. thus when there will be an update it will know the version is outdated (on the installed checkbox instead), and after marking the new version as installed, the finished checkbox will know that you havent finished the version you just installed and will show as half-set. again, more details in FAQ.
Thanks when I read finished I was thinking you meant game is completed/finished. Glad to understand what it is and how it works now.

It would be nice if they added more hover texts. But, right-clicking the column header shows it in the field list.
When the game is finished, the status of the game is usually marked Completed. Edit: by the dev.

Sam Sorry for the OT, but I gotta say, I just LOVE your ava/sig... I am not sure but I think I've seen just about all of the Groucho and Marx Bro's movies/skits and Groucho is one of my all time Favs.
Some of the best childhood memories. Comedy Capers, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Marx Brothers were the best I ever seen on the tube.

Not that simple.
A) there's the issue how to recognize what type of game it is... for one, as in the engine used, for another, picking the correct executable. Some game engines use more than one exe, and it's not always named the same as the actual game name.
Also, some games may contain files that could lead to a false match.
B) if it isn't already in the checker, there's just no easy way to find the corresponding F95 thread. In fact, this would probably take even more time than just adding the thread to the checker and selecting the executable after download/unpacking.
Now, if it is already a part of the checker... it's just stupidly simple to add the executable as long as the game folder name is matching the game name at least for 85% or more. Even if you have over a thousand games, there's no way in hell you're gonna play them all at once, so adding an executable for the one you do want to play when you want to play it is so trivial it's almost laughable.

ive improved how dragging tabs works, the code for it is even a bit more janky than before, but also 10x more robust. this shouldnt happen again.
now what you see is always how the app actually thinks the tabs are ordered, it is "fake" dragging, imgui is not aware of the tab being dragged, it is forced to draw them in another order and i handle dragging based on mouse position and click being held.
i didnt do any particular handling of the situation where some tabs are hidden, but i tested it now and it behaves acceptably: dragging a tab after another one when some hidden tabs were between the 2, it will drag it past all of them, including the hidden ones that were between (which keep their own order).

Please note that this extension is solely to aid the usage of the desktop tool, you still need the desktop application installed and running.
FAQ:
- Crashes on start with GLError 'invalid operation'?
Update Windows, update GPU drivers, and if you have them update MSI AfterBurner and RTSS or just disable / remove them.
- How do I use this tool? and How do the versions and checkboxes work?
After you have installed it using the instructions above, the day-to-day usage is quite simple. You need to add the games you want to track (more on this below) and every once in a while you hit the big "Refresh!" button to check for updates of your games. Each game has 2 main checkboxes, the "Installed" checkbox and the "Finished" checkbox; this should be quite intuitive: if you have a game downloaded on your system, mark it as installed, and once you have finished playing the content for that version mark it as finished. When a game receives an update you will get a popup about it at the end of the refresh. If the name changes (the game has been renamed by the developer) or its status changed (e.g. from normal to abandoned) you will get a popup about it. If a version number change is detected, however, along with the update popup there will also be an "Update Available" marker next to the game's name and the installed checkbox will be half selected. This is because the tool remembers what version you had marked as installed, so it will show you that you still have it installed, just not on the latest version. The finished checkbox will still be selected, because you had finished that installed version. In this state you can click the installed checkbox to mark the latest version as installed. Now the finished checkbox will be half selected instead, because the version that is now installed is not what you had marked as finished, indicating that there is now more content you haven't played yet. Essentially, remember that the "Installed" box means "Do I have the latest version downloaded?", and the "Finished" box means "Did I finish playing what I have downloaded?"
- How do I add games to the tool?
There are quite a few ways:
- Open the thread in a browser, copy the URL, paste it in the tool's bottom textbox and click "Add!"
- Type a name in the bottombar, press enter and select from the options (this uses F95Zone's quicksearch)
- Using the browser extension (more info above)
- Using the "Manage > Import" section in the settings sidebar:
- - Thread links to paste multiple links at once
- - F95 bookmarks and watched threads to add the pages you saved on your F95Zone account
- - Browser bookmarks to import the bookmarks you saved in your browser
- - URL shortcut file for Windows web shortcut files
- - (For the last 2 you can drag the files into the tool window)
After adding the games make sure to refresh atleast once to fetch all the game information!
- Can you make it download game updates? and Can you make it detect my game folders?
The main reason I decided to make this tool is because all the other alternatives were, in my opinion, too complicated to setup and did way more than what I wanted / needed. Most of this overhead I believe comes from trying to manage your game folders and files on disk, which introduces SO much complexity and room for error. That is what brought me to making my own program, which will NEVER download updates, manage your folders and so on. F95Checker is not a tool that manages your games, it is a tool that helps you manage your games yourself.
- Where is my data stored?
F95Checker stores all it's data at:
-%APPDATA%\f95checker\on Windows
(usuallyC:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\f95checker\)
-~/.config/f95checker/on Linux
(usually/home/username/.config/f95checker/)
-~/Library/Application Support/f95checker/on MacOS
(usually/Users/username/Library/Application Support/f95checker/)
in a file nameddb.sqlite3, while images are saved in theimagesfolder asthread-id.ext. Theimgui.inifile stores some interface preferences, like window size and position, enabled columns and so on. Files namedf95checker.jsonandconfig.iniare remainders from previous versions (pre v9.0 and pre v7.0 respectively). When opening v9.0+ it will attempt to migrate these old configs to the new database system, once that is done these old files will be ignored.
- How do I customize the interface, the columns and the sorting?
Everything to do with columns and sorting can only be changed from list view but also applies to grid and kanban view. Each column has a header bar at the top, you can use those to customize the interface. You can drag the headers around to reorder the columns, you can drag the edge of some select columns to change their width (only works if other variable size columns are enabled). Left clicking on a header will sort the list by that column, holding shift while clicking a header will add a secondary sort (multisort). Right clicking on any header will allow you to enable or disable some columns and also gives you access to manual sort. When manual sort is enabled you can drag games (in list and grid mode, not in kanban view) to reorder them. Manual sort remembers the order if you disable and enable it again, but you will not be able to reorder the games if you have any filters enabled.
- How can I try new features early?
When I implement new features or work on fixing bugs I submit directly to theYou must be registered to see the links, so running directly from the source code there could prove unstable at times, and also requires a development environment with an updated Python install and all the requirements up to date. To make testing new versions easier, I sometimes issue beta builds. This usually happens when I make some significant change, or an important bugfix, and want to have some binaries that everyone can try easily and give me feedback. You can see the beta builds in theYou must be registered to see the links; here you should look for entries with a green tick or a red cross icon. When you open one, scroll down to the "Artifacts" section, look for your platform and click on it to download. Keep in mind you will need to be logged into GitHub to download. If the entry had a red icon, that means that the build has failed for some platforms, but yours might be fine so check anyway.
Have a look at this visual guide if you still have doubts.
About the speed™:
F95Zone does not yet have a proper API serving the information needed by this tool, so the only way to gather them is by requesting the full game threads like a normal browser would. However this is not practical because it consumes a lot of network and computing resources, takes way too long and puts unnecessary stress on the forum servers. This tool makes a compromise: it makes small chunked requests to a dedicated API to check for new version numbers, and when an update is found it then fetches the full thread and scans it for all the game details. This is what allows F95Checker to quickly check thousands of games in a matter of seconds. However this will not detect many other changes, like status and description, so the tool will run periodic full rechecks once a week. When a full recheck happens you will see the status text in the bottom right corner saying "Running x full rechecks".

Due to the lack of a proper F95Zone API, this tool needs to grab the threads just like a browser would, and this entails requiring an account to read spoiler content.

Have been using F95Checker since Febuary of this year without any issues until yesterday when Malwarebytes flaged it as containing ransomware.
I downloaded and reinstalled and copied my save data files and it now scans as OK.
I don't know what caused it and Kaspersky didnt flag it as having a problem
Malware.Ransom.Agent.Generic, C:\Users\Downloads\F95Checker-Windows\F95Checker.exe, Quarantined
Malware.Ransom.Agent.Generic, C:\USERS\APPDATA\ROAMING\MICROSOFT\INTERNET EXPLORER\QUICK LAUNCH\User Pinned\TaskBar\F95Checker.lnk, Quarantined
Its a great utility I have only encounted one issue In that I cant run HHS+ using the play tab from checker

we read it fine the 1st time you posted it, posting 3 times is unnecessary xD
windows sucks, antiviruses suck. its a false positive. since this software is not made by a big company and does not come signed with a certificate (since this costs hundreds of dollars), antivirus goes on a vibe basis. it will randomly decide to say yes or no. if a certain amount of people have used the file, then it is less likely, but still random. you should use your brain rather than antivirus. antivirus is useless.
what is HHS+?

I also can't launch HHS+ from the play button of this tool.
The error in HHS+'s log file:
Notable is that it attempts to access the directory "C:\WINDOWS\system32\data\ContentFilter" - this directory is actually in "<game directory>\data\ContentFilter".
The same error happens if I attempt to launch the game by searching for the executable in Windows' start menu.
The error does not happen if I create a shortcut for the exe and set that as the exe in F95Checker (Big Boy Blue: here is a workaround).
If I change the working directory in the shortcut, the same error happens again (although with the stuff before "\data" substituted with the working directory path).
My guess would be that the game searches for its file by this working directory, and launching the game from anywhere else and not setting the working directory causes this error. A quick check in PowerShell seems to confirm this:
I'm quite certain that I've noticed errors like this before with other (non-porn) games (e.g. Cataclysm: DDA) or tools (I wanna say OBS, but I'm not entirely sure).
Not sure if that is in the scope of this tool, since that seems more like an error the developers of HHS+ should address.
The vast majority of games on this forum use RenPy, WolfRPG, RPGMaker or Unity, so I don't think there will be that many other games affected by this issue. And an easy workaround exists: Just creating a shortcut (even one in the same directory as the exe) and using that in F95Checker works just fine.
