PC games put saves all over the place.
This utility moves game save files into %userprofile%/Saved Games
and creates a hidden junction from the original location. Games will still work correctly, but they won't clutter up your Documents folder with save files.
This also makes it easier to back up saves for games that don't have cloud sync.
Just run the utility again and save-central will create junctions for all the save files in %userprofile%/Saved Games
Any paths in %userprofile%/Saved Games/save-central.csv
will be linked, if the file exists. For example, to back up my Pico-8 carts and some itch.io ZeroRanger save files:
source,destination
"AppData\Roaming\pico-8","pico-8"
"bin\Itch.io\zeroranger\SAVEDATA","zero-ranger"
Edit list.csv
to add the correct path. The first item on a line is the
source, relative to %userprofile%
. The second item is the destination, relative to
%userprofile%/Saved Games
. Pull requests welcome! Note the alphabetical order.
Both are nice, but I still want a clean Documents directory. Into %userprofile%/Saved Games
they go!
There's a few of these. I'm keeping track of them in unqualified_files.csv
and unqualified_directories.csv
. Support coming eventually.
