Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

[KaosKally]

what if you quit the app completely and start it normally, does it start in background?

Starts normally in the background as it should. Either way, I found where the issue was.... it seems i had 2 identical startup entries for Checker, both active at the same time. Once I deleted one of them (the shortcut from startup folder) all is back to normal.

Hello everyone. You can see the picture above.
The Version is 2025-3-28, but the last updated is Feb 28,2025. Why these two data are different?
After i refresh, the data didnt change. Please someone tell me how to solve this problem.

From what I can tell, being updated today, cache api did not read the new date yet, and with it having 6 hours refresh cooldown... i would say tomorrow everything should be fine.

proof?

I don't remember what game it was, but a couple of weeks ago I was looking at a game and that was the last tag listed (thought at the time it was weird). If I were to guess it is due to being the last tag added and is probably sorted in the app by index instead of alphabetically.

I can only start F95checker as an admin, when I start it with user rights it starts to the mini symbols (^ symbol) but doesnt open?

any ideas about that? I downloaded a fresh install, copied it to a completely new folder, deleted the folder in appdata, still the same problem

The parsing error you reported was likely due to F95 Maintenance. Starting as admin only, sounds like OS issue. More information is needed before anybody can speculate. OS Type / version / build etc. If Windows you might want to run sfc/scannow to check for corruption. Also file locations may play a part. F95Checker and your game files should not be located on desktop folder due to OS path length restrictions.

On another note, deleting the appdata folder deletes the data.

i read the info about the parsing, so i didnt quoted it again.
as you know, appdata only exists in windows. ofc i made a backup of the folder.
system is win11, freshly installed - it was working before on the win10 pc.
the path is like E:\f95checker, so that could not be the problem.

Has anyone been able to get their data transferred over cleanly when switching to a new system? I copied the contents of AppData\Roaming\f95checker over, but the list of games shows up empty. I guess some things are working because my account is still in there (can add games freely), but would rather not go through manually adding everything, labels, etc. again. Anyone know why this might not be working for me?

it seems app have trouble displaying japanese characters
"アレンアビス" in dev name turns to "??????", "seト" in title becomes "se ?", no problems with umlauts though - "Übermachine" displayed properly
shouldn't unicode cover all this stuff?

so sad, it didnt change.
I have reviewed the introduction again, and the version refers to the update status of the thread.
The last update is my own update, and I am not sure if I understand it correctly

I have to thank you for this app Willy.
I was already losing track of the games I (plan to) play and F95's way of constantly changing the URL so your bookmark isn't up-to-date wasn't helping either.
Already partly one my way writing a rudimentary app to keep track which version of which game I completed, I just randomly stumble upon this that basically satisfies all I needed. Saves me the trouble!

If you allow for some feedback, the only minor thing's I'd like are
-optional removal of the "launch game" column (I don't launch games through this so it's wasted space)
-allow games on multiple tabs (I like to use tabs as a first major category selection, something akin to a saved filter)
-allow me to see my personal rating without having to open the game view/right click first

Other than that it has all I wanted and then some. Never thought of automating the update checking for example.

and i dont believe i ever said the app includes a full unicode font, because it doesnt. CJK (combined chinese, japanese, korean glyphs) fonts tend to be over 100mb uncompressed. im not interested in bumping the app size by that much. furthermore, with how imgui works, fonts have to be cooked into a texture surface, which has a very limited size, which we are already hitting with scaling options larger than 200%, thats why it sometimes resets when you set it to a value larger than that, all the *current* fonts dont fit into the font texture atlas. unfortunately this issue will not be fixed.

it refers to what the latest update page says. if the update was not "promoted" to latest updates, it shows the last date. this has been discussed multiple times at length, there is no way to make everyone happy with how the last updated date works. im yet to find a better compromise than this.

1 and 3 are both solved by right clicking in the column header, it allows you to select what things you want to see.
2 is not the intended use of tabs. for that kind of use, the kanban view might be more fit. or you can use a single tab and multiple labels to organize your library, see the labels dropdown in the settings sidebar

did you copy it over while the tool was closed? also, are you sure you put it in the correct appdata for the correct user?

can you show a screenshot of what you mean?

Bug: probably already reported but ai-cg tag is not sorted alphabetically

tags are stored as an enum: a number that has a certain meaning, in this case it maps to a know tag. the ai-cg tag was added after all the others, thus the enum number is larger than the other tags. some of the new asset tags like asset-daz-v4 are also newer and have the same issue. i should be able to make it sort the tags alphabetically instead of numerically

Thanks! I was looking for the column toggling in the menus on the right and totally missed this.

great, this is an english forum after all.

ＧＡＢ i have fixed this issue serverside, over the next week as cache gets cycled it will be fixed for all games. as for editing manually on custom games, it will be fixed in next beta
