Playnite persist

Open Skyline404 opened this issue 5 years ago • 9 comments

Please add Themes and Extensions as persisted folders. Also: C:\Users\<username>\scoop\apps\playnite\current\Backup\exclusionList.json C:\Users\<username>\scoop\apps\playnite\current\Backup\windowPositions.json

Maybe all files from backup folder ?

Per rejected PR https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop-extras/pull/5088...

I think the problem is that the Themes folder is part of the downloaded package, so if it is persisted, the unpacking will override anything in Themes. This is the problem with applications that are not really designed to be portable.

Any way to persist specific subfolders (with unknown names) and a single file?

This issue is still unresolved, I'm willing to take a stab at resolving this with a PR, but I would appreciate some guidance on how to persist a subfolder. Is there an example anyone can provide?

You can persist any paths and subpaths in the manifest, like this path\\to\\folder. That being said, you need to know beforehand what (sub)folder to persist.

So here is the problem, The Themes\ subfolder will always contain 2 default themes (path names), those should be updated when downloading a new version, but other sub folders should not.

Any idea how this can be resolved?

but other sub folders should not.

Can you give a list of these folders?

rashil2000 avatar Oct 28 '21 17:10 rashil2000

The name is depending on the theme the user downloaded. https://playnite.link/docs/tutorials/themes/installing.html

because there are default files in there, persisting these folders is trouble

I don't think they can be persisted then. Best idea would be persist the entire Themes folder, and use an installer script to overwrite the default themes (if they exist) on each new update.

That actually makes sense, I'll try that and submit a PR if I'm successful. Thanks @rashil2000
