Do you have any game installed on GOG Galaxy? Seems like last update removes index.db from my ProgramData GOG folder, but I don't have any game installed so I don't know if they delete index.db if you don't have any game installed or they will handle library with ownership.db from now...

Until @Kapiainen fixed this I suggest you to disable GOG Galaxy from settings to get Lauhduting to work.

This should be fixed in 3.0.2, which was just released.

index.db was indeed removed and it seems like its contents where merged into galaxy.db.

Awesome! Is it possible to update without having to go through all the settings?

[Kapiainen]

All of your games and settings are stored in \Lauhdutin\@Resources\games.json and \Lauhdutin\@Resources\settings.json, respectively. Neither of those are included in releases so you should be able to just overwrite the files of the old version with the files of the new version. The only thing you'll need to do is either not overwrite \Lauhdutin\dist\@Resources\main\slots\init.inc or go to the skin's settings, right-click somewhere on the settings skin, and click on Rebuild main slots. Alternatively you can adjust any settings related to the slots (orientation, width, height, etc.), save, and close to force the main skin to be rebuilt according to your settings.

I copied the @resource folder onto the new one and I get this error again

You cannot copy the entire @Resource folder since you are then reverting to an older version. You can copy @Resources\cache for the banners, @Resources\games.json for data relevant to your games (hours played, tags, etc.), and @Resources\settings.json for your skin settings from an older version.

That worked beautifully, had to take my shortcuts as well and then did the rebuild main slot and all good :)

I wish it would be easier to update for the future releases but now that I know what to do it's easier.
