How do you deal with saves that have timestamps in the name? #368

What's your question?

First off want to say excellent program, this is exactly what i needed to deal with syncing saves across all my devices.

I have a bit of an issue with the classic Resident Evil, the save files have timestamps in the name, i want to only keep two saves across my systems, if i keep back them up on one system, and then restore on the other, they end up accumulating: image

i had this exact same issue with my own home brew bash script that made use of rsync, it was tedious dealing with these edge cases, im wondering if im doing something incorrectly

Yeah, that's tricky. Ludusavi doesn't handle this right now, but I can look into it. There was a somewhat similar issue here: https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi/issues/253
