Ludusavi application detects save files correctly but the extension fails to detect the save files.

It looks like the name is mismatched. It's called Overboard! (2021) in the manifest because of the PCGW title:

You could rename it in Playnite to match the manifest, or you could use the edit icon in Ludusavi to make a custom entry for Overboard! (2021) and rename the custom entry to match Playnite.

Oh that explains it, thanks!. I always wondered how the game matched the save data.

I think an idea would be to save stores ids (steam Id, gog id, etc) in the Ludusavi manifest and try to match by store and id first so this way there wouldn't be mistmaches even if the name is different, then fallback to using the name if nothing is found. But this means a lot of work on Ludusavi, Ludusavi manifest and finally the extension so I don't know if it's worth it.

Yeah, I agree something like that would be good. I created this ticket to track the idea: https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi/issues/86
