Tool XLibrary - Advanced Game Library Manager for F95Zone

[rolypolygurlsweat]

Hello Detsu Kai, thank you so much for your helpful tool and your work on it!

Things I want from this tool so far (let me know if the feature already exists):
1. Customize accent colours.
2. Option to disable the notification on the top right. Sometimes it gets in the way of other buttons and even if it didn't, I'd rather not be notified of things that I just did.
3. Add custom tags from right-click menu, just like status but instead a selection of "quick tags" designated in settings.
4. Option to disable image cycling on hover. I really appreciate the already present feature of clicking through the images and would rather do that more manual way of seeing images from the game list.
5. Option to delete the default custom tags.
6. Favourite developers (with manually entered aliases) to be notified of their game releases on steam/f95zone/dlsite!!! this would be incredible.

All of the planned items are fantastic but I want to elevate:
Bulk operations — perform actions on multiple titles at once.
Collectors in the hundreds and thousands certainly need bulk operations!!!

Enjoy your holidays!

Maybe I'm missing it, but how do I import from f95checker?

Bro, I just came to update the platform and take the opportunity to reiterate two things:

1) I haven't forgotten to give my feedback, I'll do it when I finish organizing my absurd collection of 1300 games (425 are already done). I should be back around here by the end of January.
2) I reinforce my analysis, fantastic tool. My feedback will revolve around small suggestions and ideas, as there is nothing that needs fixing at this point.

Anyway, happy end of the year Detsu Kai, this community owes you one!

Ok... hahaha
Extension error.

I've already tried reloading the extension, as well as reinstalling it. Curiously, it shows 1.14.2, and not 1.14.3 (as per my installed version).
No practical problems found, only the error notification.

Hi there! Love the program. Are there any plans to make more bulk operations? Example: Custom tags in bulk.

Yes, but I'm unsure what to add to bulk operations. Custom tags sound like a good idea

 

[Detsu Kai]

Cool! Thank you, that bothered me for a long time now.

Thank you @Ilya Krichevsky for bringing this up again.


I don't really love that. I don't really like being tracked. Not only that, but I use anti-tracker for my cooking website. You bet I don't want to be tracked while playing these games. Especially shortly after the developer announced the program code will be held a secret. So we can't really check what happens with our data...

And talking data safety:
Is the google drive backup encrypted? Or can it be encrypted? Google already knows that we are perverts, but does it have to know exactly which games of these sorts I play (and how long)? A bonus would be securing it (the encryption) against quantum computing

Nonetheless, I wish you happy holidays!

P.S: Will v1.14.3 also be released on this thread?

This is only your data, you can do whatever you want with it. Maybe I will make it optionally turned off in the settings. And this is not tracked by anyone, like browser cookies or anything else, but rather a record of your own achievements made by you. If you are concerned about security or transmitted data, please note that tools like Charles and many others are available to track outgoing app traffic. These tools will be enough to confirm that no data is ever sent anywhere, only to your Google Drive for backup storage. The backup on Google Drive is not encrypted, but I think this can be done; I’ve added it to the roadmap! I wish you happy holidays too!

ps: 1.14.3 is just a hotfix, so I dont think we need it to log here

 

[Detsu Kai]

First of all, nice job! It looks really clean and its intuitive to use
Thanks for talking about Sandboxie it really is a useful tool and I've never heard of it

But I do have a question, how do I use sandboxie? I'm not sure if its me that is using it wrong or not

I created a sandbox (a regular one without supporter role) and it was recognized by the XLibrary GUI, then I setted up my game options with the correct sandbox, but it isntantly crashes, a pop-up appears saying:
"XXX game has been launched succesfully" but right away I get "Session ended - Played XXX for 0 min"

- I tried to open the game in the sandbox and it launched fine
- I tried to open the game without sandboxie but from XLibrary and it worked fine too

But when I try to open from XLibrary with Sandboxie the behaviour above happens

Hello! Thank you! Simply update to the latest version 1.14.3, and that should resolve the issue

Don't worry about it, it's fine because the extension only updates when necessary, so it might remain one or several versions behind

This is supposed to be here, but it’s currently a bug. I’ll fix it soon

Hello! Thank you for your feedback!

1 - I’ll think about it, but I can’t promise anything. The app has its own specific style, and it would be challenging to create and maintain a system where everything looks equally good in different accent colors.
2 - Could you clarify which notifications you are referring to? Maybe I can remove some of them if they’re truly disruptive.
3 - Great idea!
4 - I didn’t quite understand. Do you mean disabling the carousel entirely or just turning off auto-scrolling? If you need to switch to a specific slide, you can either press the arrow, and the autoplay will stop, or do it manually.
5 - There are no default custom tags here; this is just a suggestion you can ignore.
6 - Sounds great, I’ll add it to the roadmap.

Bulk actions - You can already perform them. Just hold down Shift and click on any game in the list with the left mouse button to enter bulk operation mode.

Wishing you joyful holidays too!

2 - Could you clarify which notifications you are referring to? Maybe I can remove some of them if they’re truly disruptive.

This particular notification blocks the previous/next game navigation arrows.
I want to add custom tags to a game then quickly click the navigation arrow to go to the next game to add custom tags for it and so on.

4 - I didn’t quite understand. Do you mean disabling the carousel entirely or just turning off auto-scrolling? If you need to switch to a specific slide, you can either press the arrow, and the autoplay will stop, or do it manually.

Just disabling the auto-scroll on hover, resulting in only the first image/cover showing until the arrow is clicked. The carousel is loved dearly when beckoned. Also, another very related want I've had is to disable the gifs in library. There's such a peace in stillness if ya get me.

5 - There are no default custom tags here; this is just a suggestion you can ignore.

The suggestion tags are certainly appreciated but to access my custom tags I must scroll down past the suggestions every time I select a tag of my own rather than my custom tags being the first and only options. if i add 5 tags i don't have to scroll at all and it makes the custom tagging workflow a bit faster:

An alternative solution would be to lower their priority to put them below any user added custom tags.

Bulk actions - You can already perform them. Just hold down Shift and click on any game in the list with the left mouse button to enter bulk operation mode.

Neato! Is there some kinda hotkey to bulk add custom tags?

Thank you for the response! These are really small nitty gritties so it's much appreciated if you take any time on them at all.

I have a query: the “Open in Browser” function currently determines which platform resource to open based on the “Set as Primary” action. If the “Open in Browser” option could also include a dropdown menu upon selection, allowing users to swiftly choose different platform resources, then there would be no need for the additional “Primary” setting，Wouldn't that be more convenient?
