This is a little larger than the usual maintenance release...it contains some new features for all the save scummers out there. Enjoy.

New in 1.3.6

All Platforms:

  • Added the ability to backup and restore saved games for the currently monitored game by using the "Backup" and "Restore" buttons on the main window.
  • Fixed issues that could cause the Ludusavi Manifest import to fail.
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when cancelling detection and re-enabling while using the "Fast" detection speed.
  • Changed how concurrent operations are handled.
    • A backup, restore or import operation cannot be queued while another is currently in progress, a warning notification is now displayed if this occurs.
    • Syncs triggered by another application and automatic backup restores can now execute while GBM is currently monitoring a session or paused while working in another window such as the Game Manager.
      • Automatic backup restores may still fail if they happen to queue during another operation in progress.
  • The "Esc" key can now be used to shutdown the app or hide the main window to the system tray, depending on the "User Interface" settings.
  • Updated YamlDotNet to 13.1.1.

Windows:

  • Added the ability to backup or restore saved games for the last played, selected or currently monitored game by using global hotkeys.
  • Added unique "Success" or "Failure" audio that will play when a backup or restore is triggered from a hotkey.
  • Updated SQLite3 to 3.42.0.
  • Updated 7-Zip to 23.01.

Linux:

  • The main window can now be hidden to the system tray when closed.
    • Uncheck "Exit when closing window" in "Main Window Options" of Settings -> User Interface to enable this feature.
    • It can also be hidden automatically on startup by checking the "Start minimized" option in Settings -> Startup.
  • GBM no longer needs to wait 60 seconds before automatically restoring new backups (if enabled) when the app starts.

Known Issues (Linux):

  • The main window may not redraw correctly if resized after it's been restored from the system tray.
