Depressurizer 0.6.0.0 (Oct 8 2014)

A note: The new game list update method used in this new version is really nice, but it has not been widely tested. Please report any problems you encounter.

Changelist

  • Major Changes & New Features
    • Now has the ability to update its game list by looking at files on your local machine rather than downloading your Steam Community profile page.
      • This is the new default behavior, with the old method used as a backup.
      • This is much faster and doesn't require your profile to be public.
      • In combination with the database improvements, this should provide more accurate game lists in many cases.
      • This has resulted in some terminology changes: Everywhere the program used to say "download," it now says "update" instead.
    • Added tag-based autocat
  • UI
    • You can now select and delete multiple categories at once. If multiple categories are selected, the program will show games from the first selected category. The Rename button will also act on the first selected category.
    • Changed existing help tooltips and added a few more.
    • Some changes to the way that certain columns sort themselves in lists.
    • Changed several message boxes to make them more consistent.
  • Database
    • Changed list of AppTypes to include more meaningful types and to remove all the various error types.
    • Added Platforms field (Win, Mac, Linux).
    • Added Parent field (for DLC and demos)
    • Database now has the ability to pull certain information from the local AppInfo cache file.
      • By default, it will do this every time the program starts. This might increase the startup time by a few seconds on some systems. This can be disabled in the program settings.
      • Information obtained in this way includes the type of app (more accurate than old web scrape method), available platforms, and parent app.
      • This may not include data for all apps, but it should include all the apps that you actually own.
    • Database now keeps track of the last time an app was updated from the cache file and the last time it was updated from the Steam store.
    • Updated the database editor interface to account for these new changes.
    • Added a checkbox in the database editor to limit your view to games in your own list. For now, this will also exclude DLC and other ignored items.
    • Updated the database entry editor to actually show all the information in the database.
    • Some changes to DB formatting.
    • By default, database will now save to disk if an update is run during an autocat operation. Change in program settings.
  • Other
    • Program now keeps track of why it thinks you own each game. Nothing is done with this information for now, but it could be used later to help filter out some types of unwanted entries.
    • Autocat routines can now check a game's "parent" if the game in question is missing a particular type of data. This should only happen rarely.
    • Additional error logging.
  • Fixes
    • Fixed broken flag detection during scraping that resulted from the recent Store update.
