i have the database stuff and gui backend done, aswell as most third party libraries and data types figured out. now im starting to actually implement the gui. then there's the refreshing to do, a bunch of smaller details to sort out, and making it work on windows and mac. still months away. if in the end you want to use f95checker, i would switch to the python version now and either let the installed/played versions sort out over time by using the checkboxes or fix the ones that are incorrect by editing the db with sqlite3 db browser. that work would not be lost, the db is fully compatible with the c version, i am using my current one while developing the c rewrite.
unfortunately the python version of the tool was not designed with locale options in mind, so changing language would mean editing all of the code. i'm rewriting the tool in C currently, and here too i did not design it with locales in mind, but there is not much text being displayed yet so its not too late to add locale. i'll consider available options for this and see if it's worth the effort.Well, Willy's Tool is simply incredible.
It takes a while to discover all the ingenious features, but everything is very well thought out and runs absolutely flawlessly.
Absolutely indispensable for people with a large collection of games.
Great respect for your programming skills.
PS: To make the tool perfect for me personally, I would love to have a user interface in German....
However... since I'm a bit of a blockhead, I couldn't find these directories despite searching for them.
And unfortunately, my programming skills are those of an orangutan...
Thank you very much for this wonderful tool.
Not really, I run it constantly without issue.
This tool IS awesome. And I am not experiencing any issues.
I just loaded the game and had no issues. Obviously I did not try normal refresh. Try full recheck on the game, or remove and re-add.
This was indeed intended. The idea behind it was that it would preload the images that were currently not on screen, so that when you scroll down, it would already have the images loaded. That means without editing the code and running from source, it currently isn't possible to change this. You might try enabling the
preload nearby images option in the images section(sidebar). It would still load them from bottom to top order but might show the ones you need/want to see faster.unload off-screen images is checked or not.
Just an FYI (since you seem to have fixed your problem) - the database, images, etc is at %APPDATA%\f95checker (for Windows of course).
All I found in there is cache folder with files with no extension. So do not appear to be data files at all.
That makes no sense, there is no cache folder:
Not sure why, over the years I have edited mine a couple of times and not seen that. My guess though is that is a DB Browser error, not related to F95Checker. Most likely it is here in your Edit->Preferences under the Data Browser tab Font setting:
