Hi, first thank you for this great widget, it complements the xbox app shortcoming and looks. I found xbox app updates occasionally remove all replaced artworks possibly after silent app updates. Is it possible to add a save and load option or automate it to avoid the process of finding manually correct artworks for some titles? Cheers
Thank you for your feedback! This is something I am working on for the next update. I've encountered this issue myself and have been thinking recently about the best way to address it. Annoyingly, the Xbox app just randomly decides to reset artworks, sometimes it's all of Steam games but not GOG games, sometimes it's only some of Steam games - only Microsoft knows how and why it happens. I know some early tools used to set updated artwork files to readonly to prevent Xbox app from changing them, but I do not want to interfere with what it is doing in any way. Maybe at some point proper artwork support will be rolled out by Microsoft, my intention is to let the Xbox app overwrite files when it wants to. But I can definitely come up with a save-and-restore solution to make it easier for people to quickly get their previously set artwork back.
1.3 update includes a new button in the top bar to restore your customisations in one click. However, it will only work for artwork changed in this version or later, so you would need to go through the process of choosing the artwork again to create a backup for each game, but only once.

This is great, i'll test and report as soon as it is available :-)
