Question for possible function extension #6

Open EnricoSanchez opened 8 months ago

EnricoSanchez commented 8 months ago

Hello, first of all, great tool, almost exactly what I was looking for, but would it be possible to copy the renamed prefix folders to an external hard drive "as a backup function"? or at least a text file with name and number

Jannomag commented 8 months ago

It's possible, yes. When I find some time I'll try to add this as a new feature. But I'm quiet busy currently and on holidays next week.

For now you can change the shortix_dir variable in the Shortix.sh to a directory of your gusto. Shortix will then create the shortcuts there. It's still not a backup but they're stored on a different location than $HOME.

I've got some time and added a new backup feature, I hope this is what you meant. Please clone the repo and check, if it's correct, I'll add a new release.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I tried, but the backup folder is empty?

By backup function I mean: shortix creates symlink folders with game names of prefix folders, but when I want a backup of the renamed prefix folder, it's only a copy of the symlink, but I want to copy the whole folder (exemple Backup to external fat32/ntfs device) with the renamed prefix folder, so I can backup all noSteamgame saves at once

Ah okay, now I understand. I checked my current tellurium several times without issues. I'll take a look over it.

So you want backups of the actual prefix with renamed folders? I will try it, should be possible. But I will need to modify my setup for this because I have some huge prefix folders with non-Steam games and mods... Might take a while!
