- New setting to hide the shelf options from each game's right-click menu. If you only want the quick per-card actions there, you can now turn off the fuller Sort/Management/Display/Visual/Decoration/Compose-with group — it's on by default so nothing changes unless you turn it off.
- New switch to turn off card-action shortcuts. The gamepad/keyboard shortcuts for hiding, highlighting or quick-launching a card can now be disabled all at once, for anyone who only wants those actions through the card's own menu. On by default; Quick Search and Side Navigation shortcuts aren't affected.
- The Steam library location filter can now mix specific storage devices, not just Internal/External/Network. Pick exactly which libraries a shelf pulls from — an SD card and a USB drive, say, but not the network share — instead of one broad category.
- Remote Play filter: new "Only on this device" option, mirroring the existing "Only on another device" — for a shelf of games installed here and nowhere else.
- Settings are more resilient to data loss. A field your build didn't yet recognize — from a newer version, another device, or after a downgrade — used to get silently dropped on save; those now round-trip untouched. A corrupted settings file could previously destroy its own backup on the next save, losing both; it's now quarantined and recovered from automatically instead, with a one-time notice if it happens. An in-place update on the standalone host could also leave a stale copy of the plugin running alongside the new one — fixed.
- "Export All" now actually exports everything. Around 60 settings — Showcase Mode, the screensaver, developer options and a few others — were silently left out of Export/Import/Reset even when selected; every setting is now covered. Exports also carry a version stamp for future compatibility, though older export files still import fine, and importing now takes a safety-net snapshot of your current settings first.
- Developer/debug settings and the "own QAM tab" toggle are now device-only. Switching profiles, an automatic profile switch, a factory reset, or a cross-device settings sync used to be able to flip these — they no longer do, since they're specific to this install, not something a profile or another device should carry.
- Fewer redundant update checks when running through the standalone host. It already checks for updates and lets you know on its own, so the plugin no longer also checks and shows its own banner there — only when running through a plugin loader, where nothing else is checking.
- Fixed: a smart shelf's per-day hour overrides (e.g. Spare Time open all day on weekends instead of its usual short windows) turned into a plain everyday time window the moment you saved, and the "allow day overrides" switch looked like it had turned itself off. Saving now keeps the day restriction.
