Feature Request - Ability to Set Installed Version for Outdated Games #120

Open nazdridoy opened 8 months ago

nazdridoy commented 8 months ago

Issue Description:

Feature Request: In the current version of f95checker, users can only check installed games, and the tool assumes the installed version to be the latest. However, it would be immensely beneficial to provide users with the capability to set the current installed version number for outdated games. This feature is particularly useful for individuals who want to add and track updates for games they had previously installed.

Current Workaround: The current workaround involves manually editing the db.sqlite3 file to add the old version number and track updates. While this method works, having a built-in feature within f95checker to handle this process would greatly enhance user experience and streamline the update tracking process.

Proposed Implementation: Introduce a user-friendly option within f95checker that allows users to specify the installed version number for outdated games. This could be implemented through an additional field or interface in the f95checker tool, allowing users to input the version number they wish to set for each installed game.

Expected Benefits:

  1. Improved user experience by eliminating the need for manual editing of the database file.
  2. Enhanced flexibility for users to track updates for previously installed games accurately.
  3. Greater control over version management, catering to a broader range of user preferences and needs.

Environment:

Note: This feature request is aimed at enhancing the functionality of f95checker and providing users with a more comprehensive tool for managing and tracking game updates. Your consideration and implementation of this feature would be greatly appreciated.

There is a workaround in the interface. Custom games let you change the version, and you can mark custom games as installed. So you can convert to custom, change version, mark installed, change version back, convert to f95zone game, refresh. A field to change it manually might work, but I'm not super sure about it

It did work! But it's maybe a bit lengthy.

it will also be a bit more userfrendly, i think.
