Data updater does not delete removed files

Open alkazar opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Recently, after removing Proton 5.21 from chimera-data, the data updater successfully updated the data, however, it did not delete the removed files.

The data updater should remove files that are no longer in the chimera-data repo.

Wouldn't this prevent users from having their custom compatibility tools?

No, users can still have custom compatibility tools.

This issue is about removing old data from .local/share/chimera/data, not .local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d

Maybe we should user rsync and friends to always keep ~/.local/share/chimera/data up to date. That would also delete files non existent on the source directory.
