Backup tool for PC game saves
What's new in 0.31.0
* Added: * Roots may now use the `<game>` placeholder, allowing a single root entry to match game-specific folders during the scan. This is mainly useful in cases where you have separate roots per game, such as with Wine prefixes. * CLI: `wrap` now supports `--no-backup` and `--no-restore`. * For developers, the crates.io release now includes a library crate that you can use to access some of Ludusavi's internals. This is highly experimental and subject to change, but you're welcome to give it a try in its early stages. * For users with network proxy setups that cause issues with certificate/hostname validation, the config file now supports a `runtime.networkSecurity` setting. * Fixed: * Native Linux saves were not detected in some Flatpak roots. ([Contributed by madscientist16](https://github.com/mtkennerly/ludusavi/pull/556)) * For Lutris roots, some GOG and native Linux install folders were not properly detected. * For Heroic roots that point to a Flatpak installation, if Heroic's game installation directory contained `/home/user/games`, then Ludusavi would expect `/home/user/games` to actually exist, whereas Flatpak rules would cause Heroic to use `/home/user/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl/games` instead. * CLI: The `backup` command would sync games to the cloud if the scan found any new/changed files, even if it didn't create a new backup for the game. This now behaves like the GUI and only syncs games that are newly backed up. * GUI: Text can now be entered using input method editors. * GUI: If the backup comment field was open while selecting a different backup...

| 0.24.3 | Unknown | * Fixed: * If two consecutive differential backups both ignored *different* save files *and* none of those files were ignored in the associated full backup, then the second differential backup would fail to redeclare the... |
| 0.24.2 | Unknown | * Fixed: * When multi-backup was enabled and Ludusavi backed up a game for the first time, it would first insert an empty backup in that game's `mapping.yaml` and then insert the real backup after. This behavior was mean... |
| 0.24.1 | Unknown | * Fixed: * Symlinks were incorrectly traversed when applying redirects. For example, if you had a backup-type redirect from `/old` to `/new`, but `/new` happened to be a symlink to `/newer` on your system, then the backu... |
| 0.24.0 | Unknown | * Added: * On the "other" screen, you can choose not to back up games with cloud support on certain stores. If a game is customized or already has local backups, then Ludusavi will continue backing it up regardless. * Fo... |
