Verify and filter GOG cloud saves for size restriction #3806

Open games647 opened 2 months ago

games647 commented 2 months ago

Problem description

GOG now requires a save size limit of 200 MiB per game [1]. Files above this limit will be deleted on 31. August. You can check your current data here: https://www.gog.com/account/cloud-saves

I was surprised that one of my games exceeded this limit. However, this game exceeded it only with thumbnail data. EDIT: Friends reported that they also hit this limit by having a lot of save files.

Feature description

It would be good to have warning which games exceed this limit before any data will be lost. EDIT: Okay found out GOG sends email notification, so this might not be necessary.

Furthermore, a upload filter would be great to ignore files which are not essential. For example, the game Immortality uses in my case 300MiB thumbnail data. Those files are not necessary to be uploaded. An upload filter inside the heroic launcher might be necessary, because older games are unlikely to be updated to comply with this size restriction.

Sounds like too much work for a one-time thing that GOG already handles with warnings in emails.

This sounds reasonable, but what about the upload filter? If older titles are hitting this limit very easily (~1h playtime or when using multiple saves), wouldn't it be good idea to ignore unnecessary or older data?
