Question: Redeeming owned keys #37

Closed hydroculator closed 1 year ago

hydroculator commented 1 year ago

The description says that the program pulls all keys from Humble, then checks to see what the user already owns on Steam. Can it not check first before pulling codes that can't be activated?
I like to keep my duplicates in Humble for later, in case I find someone who wants a key. If they're all redeemed at once, that becomes difficult.
Thanks

Good point on the wording, should probably clarify that.

The auto-redeem functionality only touches keys that are one, Steam keys, and two, will only 'reveal' a key on Humble if it's certain you don't already own it. Additionally, for added safety it only reveals keys on Humble as it goes to redeem that key specifically on Steam.

I can't really guarantee that it does this owned-games-aversion perfectly, but I did try to bias the code to prefer NOT revealing keys under any concern it might already be owned, rather than to be greedy -- for exactly the reason you stated, as I'm quite aligned to that mentality.

It's worth noting that if you use export mode and select the option to 'reveal keys' at the start, then that will redeem & export every key.

I've gone ahead and clarified the README as it was overdue for an update. Thanks! Let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks very much for the clarification and the update! I'll be trying this out very soon.

@hydroculator Consider the reason I'm using this app. I have tried to redeem a few old keys lately and Humble doesn't have them any longer and keys are repopulated via publisher, not Humble. There's no guarantee I'll ever get these keys back.
