Backup single save file? #384

Closed annomatik closed 2 weeks ago

What's your question?

Hi! I have a PopCap game called Big Money Deluxe. It does not have a dedicated save game directory. Instead, there's a "savegame.dat" and a "hiscores.dat", next to the executeable (BigMoney.exe). And below, there are a bunch of directories.

I have added Big Money Deluxe as a custom game. Is it possible to not save the whole game all the time but instead, only savegame.dat and hiscores.dat? I have only seen the option to specify a path, which of course means backing up the whole game.

Thanks!

Hi! Although the path selector dialog only lets you choose a folder, you can type in a file name (or glob pattern) afterwards :) There's some documentation about this here: https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi/blob/master/docs/help/custom-games.md
