Syncs the latest save file between your Steam and Xbox DRG installations with a handy GUI!

Hello there 👋

deep-rock-galactic-save-syncer's Issues

Update the missing save file component to include platform specific instructions for fixing the issue

Handle highly promoted dwarves better

At the moment it just renders a bunch of stars on the right, but that's not viable for a fully promoted dwarf. Maybe color coding, or a prestige number could be used to reduce the number of stars?

Upgrade to .NET 7

Fix app update modal's button styling

The last release included some changes to the button component styling, which has (minorly) broken the "Download" button's styling in the AppUpdate modal. The button now fills its parent, and lacks any margin leading to a cramped interface with a massive button at the bottom.

Update main sync button to be a bit more descriptive of the operation it's performing

Usually when I recommend the app to someone, I need to give a quick rundown of how to get the saves synced up. I think this could be improved by updating the sync button to be a bit more descriptive.

"Sync Steam save with Xbox Save" might be better written as "Overwrite Steam save with Xbox save", as that's more accurate to what's happening.

Add logfile location to the README

Remove empty `_mixins.css` file from GUI/wwwroot

CssBuilder can't really handle this case, which is fine! However there's no need for the CSS file to be commited to the repo.

Update readme to better explain the app

Update to use `branch-url-update-action` action

branch-url-update-action

Update README images to cover staged 2.5.0 UI changes

Investigate optimizing the build for smaller executables

I get that Electron isn't very efficient, but 100MB feels like a bit much.

Download new update modal appears every time you select a different save file

Verify location of log file generated by the installed executable

Update README to explicitly cover the process of syncing saves, starting from zero

It's a little vague how to go from an existing Xbox (for example) installation, to a freshly installed Steam installation and have everything play nice.

Add a proper README

Move logs README section into the wiki

Release a proper executable

It's already there in the build artifacts!

Add wiki link to the app

Implement build and automated release via Github Actions

Improve readability of the promotion stars next to the dwarves

Add a refresh button to the GUI

Or maybe a file watcher?

Update README to have better SEO

Genericize modal logic for easier reuse

Handle issues with not finding a save file more gracefully

At the moment it just fails to start up

Update README to have accurate heading hierarchy

It skips from # to ###, which really isn't great.

Investigate and implement save file analysis for determining precedence

Right now, save files are compared purely on their age. If possible, checking the data contained in those save files to determine which one is the newest would be ideal.

Refreshing should be mandatory before a sync can happen

Right now, whenever a save file updates, the UI will prompt for a refresh to load the new values in to be inspected by the user. This is fine and dandy, however there can arise situations where a the app is prompting a sync, and then the save file is updated. Clicking the sync button before refreshing might not work as expected, as the files being synced won't necessarily align with what's being shown in the UI.

To address this, I think modifying the sync button to say "Refresh" or similar when the files have changed and then perform the refresh on click before returning to the normal sync button would be ideal.

Implement tests

Update documentation for v2.6.0 release

The main example image and all OmniButton images need to be updated

Migrate getting started README section into the wiki

I think it makes more sense to keep the README lean-ish, and focus more on the features and how they work.

Update README to show of build and test state from Actions

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/monitoring-and-troubleshooting-workflows/adding-a-workflow-status-badge

Improve file explorer logic to open the directory if the file itself isn't available

The Xbox flavor of DRG loves to rename the save file, which breaks the OpenSaveFileInExplorer logic, however a sensible fallback can alleviate that minor pain point.

Implement a simple GUI

Right now, using the app is a bit clumsy sometimes. Having a simple GUI for it would alleviate these issues nicely:

1. Getting information back to the user in a cleaner, more traditional way
2. Handle (optional) configuration smoothly
3. Handle edge case save file comparisons, where the user should make the final decision

Add tests for the update checker

Move `SaveFileManagerService` logic out of the GUI project, and into Core

It doesn't really make sense to keep it there

Update the SaveFile header bars to better reflect headers in DRG

The platform icons should be hexagonal (css mask?), and the bar itself should have an opacity gradient to fade out the right end.

Update app to follow C# style guide

Really just make sure methods are in PascalCase, private members have a _ prepended to them, and const members are capitalized. There's some inconsistencies that don't look good.

Handle empty save directories

Right now that behavior is kinda undefined, so make sure it's handled appropriately. Add test cases too

Syncing saves causes the refresh button to appear, yet the UI has already been refreshed

Add help tooltips to the main sync button for each state it can be in

Fix save file padding

There's too much on the bottom, and not enough on the top

Allow for user configuration overrides

Users should be able to specify their save locations if needed, probably in some handy JSON file somewhere near the executable?

Update Core.Tests to include test data for latest version of DRG

We're on 1.37.79197.0 now

Streamline OmniButton status to be immutable

Right now, the omni button has several methods used to control what happens to it when it should display text, is clicked on, whether or not it should be disabled, etc. I think unifying these concepts into a single immutable status that's generated after some event would be a better way forward for safety and avoiding bugs where the text of the button doesn't align with the action done when clicked.

Update background to be a bit more dynamic

Maybe a subtle steam effect? It definitely has to be something that feels DRG-like.

Add a troubleshooting section to the wiki

Some useful topics might include:

• Using DRG's built in save file recovery system
• Restoring backups
• Handling missing save files

Reorganize resources directory

Add potential mitigation for the missing Steam save file issue when using the app with a new Steam save

Confirmed that the save file does indeed exist, but still not visible in the app. Closing out of the app, DRG, and restarting Steam fixed the issue upon opening the app once again.

User feedback when running the executable

Maybe a Windows notification popup?

Improve logging output

The logging is pretty minimal at the moment, and it would be nice to have discrete files to aid in troubleshooting, should that be necessary.
