Lost game data upgrading to 1.0 #5

Closed kcthrn closed 5 years ago

(Thanks for providing a snap for this game)

Saved game data, settings are lost on upgrading to version 1.0.

Reverting the snap brings them back.

I'm not sure which files need to be retained, but I think they are:

$HOME/snap/supertuxkart/<snap-revision>/.config/supertuxkart/<game-version>/*

Oddly, the name of the folder \<game-version>, for the previous version, 0.9.3, is "0.8.2". Perhaps it is configuration data that is versioned, as the name of the folder for 1.0 is "config-0.10", so instead, for config data, the path should be:

$HOME/snap/supertuxkart/<snap-revision>/.config/supertuxkart/<config-version>/*

Maybe it was intended for save data to be lost, seeing as 1.0 is a major new version. I can't confirm.

Please close if this is the case. Sorry for taking a bit of your time with this issue ☹️.
