Where are the save files stored?? #18611

It doesn't seem like the FAQ explained that part. Please, I need to know where Ruffle stores its save files so I can transfer them!

Is this about the web version of Ruffle or the desktop app?

Web version

Lord-McSweeney commented 2 hours ago

Save files are stored in browser local storage and they are accessible using the Save Manager from the right-click menu (context menu).

KirbyFan102 commented 2 hours ago

But sometimes the Save Manager is unavailable, even for games with saves. Is there a way to find them with the File Explorer? (I'm using Waterfox browser)

Lord-McSweeney commented 2 hours ago

Can you send an example of a game where the Save Manager doesn't work? There's no other easy way to access browser local storage.

Well, out of the ones I played today...

https://web.archive.org/web/20110413021926/http://www.flashninjaclan.com:80/zzz303_Elf_Girl_Date_Sim.php This one only has the Save Manager after the player makes the first save, problem is, the save's gone when you reload the page, and so is the Save Manager option.

This one I also remember not showing the Save Manager from the start, only after I made some progress.

And maybe that's normal, but it makes it a real hassle when I want to transfer a save to another browser. It might be a Waterfox-only problem, though, I didn't have time to test it all out on another browser.

If the Save Manager doesn't show the game hasn't made a save, so there's no file to transfer anyway. The save disappearing on the first link is probably a problem with the Wayback Machine- I can take a closer look in a few hours.
