Add a setting for automatically assigning the backup tag #47

Closed Destroy666x closed 1 year ago

Destroy666x commented 1 year ago

A rather simple QoL change - add a checkbox setting like Automatically assign "[Ludusavi] Game: backup" tag if backup succeeds that when enabled adds the tag more or less when the success notification happens after all manual and automatic backup actions.

Another checkbox could also exist to Automatically assign "[Ludusavi] Game: backup and restore" if backup succeeds as an alternative

Hi! Could you explain a bit more about the use case for this? I feel like the current options cover the same needs:

Destroy666x commented 1 year ago

The use case is that when you manually select games and select the backup option through RMB menu then the tag isn't added, unless I'm missing something. And why would I like to have the tag added when I do it manually? To quickly filter and select all the games I backed up in case a quick cloud backup is needed before e.g. moving temporarily or permamently between devices.

Also note: I don't want automated backups after playing and I see "ask before backup" option only under that and some "non-PC" option that I also have disabled since I'm plaing on PC 99% of time.

Multi-select with Shift works ofc, but you can forget to assign the tag one or five times and then miss out on some backups.

I don't want automated backups after playing

If you add the "[Ludusavi] Game: backup" tag to a game, then it will automatically be backed up after playing, so you probably don't want to use that tag for this. Even if it's disabled in the plugin settings, that tag will override the behavior per game.

There could be a new tag just to mark games that have been backed up. For now, you can use a custom tag for that so it doesn't trigger any special behavior.

Oh, I see, thanks for info. A different predefined or choosable/enterable tag would be nice in that case.

This will be included in the next release:

It also takes the configured backup folder into account. If you change the folder, then it will update the tags to reflect what's in that folder.
