[Feature Request] Update All End Report?

[lunchpacked130]

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a setting for generating a report of what changes/updates was applied when performing Update all, either on-screen or as an exported file?

[mattpannella]

i'm not sure what you are asking for, it already shows a summary at the end of updates cores, installed assets, etc

[lunchpacked130]

I have only just seen the entirety of the update text with everything not having gotten any update listed as aswell, but i might have missed something..

But i just meant that if say a core gets updated or a few new roms are added, that changes made is listed at the end..

For example something like this at the end;

Changes:

• Updated [xxx] core to version 4.20.69
• installed bios.file for [xxx] core
• Installed xtragame.rom, anthrgam.rom, bonsgame.rom for [yyy] core

My mother always said "it never hurts to ask", so i just thought i could ask and see if it's possible, as i think it would be a nice addition, and would inform about any new roms or cores added/updated to check out.

[mattpannella]

that's literally what it does though, that's what I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding

[mattpannella]

just checking back to see if i'm missing something after you run update it will list every core that was updated with the version, every asset downloaded, every asset it was unable to find

[mattpannella]

one last try

I don't want to put words in their mouth, but I suspect that they mean that all the feedback from the Vectrex-Extras core is making it difficult to see the results of any other updates made (especially if they haven't updates the settings to access the other location for the files). Their request to add a text dump of the log would still be helpful, in my opinion.

[lunchpacked130]

Sorry for the late reply, I've been unable to do so before now.

To put it short and sweet, Say i run update all and it installs the outrun core with 4 roms and vectrex core with 515 roms. At the end of the report, after its installed everything, i just wanted a summary, kinda like:

• Installed/updated cores: outrun, vectrex.
• installed/found roms: outrun -4, vectrex-515

Or something similar to that, just a few lines summarising what was installed/changed from running update all.

I tried all kinds of settings, but the only way i can see what was done during pupdate, is scrolling up through the entirety of of the log from pupdate, including all the checks for cores and roms already present.

It's probably not an issue for everyone, but i have basically everything except beta cores selected and installed, so the update logs per "update all" gets fairly long.

I hope i managed to clear things up

@lunchpacked130 So I think we're getting confused by what you think is missing or different from what pupdate does already.

For example, here's a capture from an update all that I just ran.

As you can see it already lists out what cores were installed/updated including the version, as well as the assets that were installed, and the assets it couldn't find. This summary is listed at the end of every update all run. All of the information you've asked for is contained in this summary save for a count for each core.

Based on the amount of cores and files that exist for the Pocket today, we are exploring what else can be done to make the logs a little cleaner on the screen and provide some options as to what people what to see. As well as writing everything to a file as well as the screen. It's not a small amount of work and the repository is just getting into a position where something like that is even possible.

Update Process Complete.

Please consider supporting boogermann for their work on the Dig Dug (boogermann.digdug) core:
https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=N7HXKEL8VJ9CN

Fun fact! The ONLY cores that support save states and sleep are the following:
    agg23.NES, agg23.Tamagotchi_P1, agg23.WonderSwan, Spacemen3.PDP1, 
    Spiritualized.GB, Spiritualized.GBA, Spiritualized.GBC, Spiritualized.GG, 
    Spiritualized.SG-1000, Spiritualized.SMS 
Please don't bother the developers of the other cores about this feature. It's a lot
of work and most likely will not be coming.

I must have somhow missed that 😳 Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

No worries at all. Just glad we were able to clear things up :)
