Ludusavi for Playnite

This project is a Playnite plugin to back up your save data using Ludusavi.

Features

The info on what to back up is ultimately sourced from PCGamingWiki, so please contribute any new or fixed data back to the wiki itself, and your improvements will be incorporated into Ludusavi's data as well.

If you'd like to help translate this plugin into other languages, check out the Crowdin project.

Setup

Ludusavi

You must download and install Ludusavi itself in addition to this plugin.

Refer to the Ludusavi project for instructions on how to install Ludusavi itself. Ludusavi 0.24.0 or newer is recommended for full functionality, but version 0.7.0 or newer will work (albeit without some features enabled).

By default, the plugin will look for the Ludusavi executable in your PATH environment variable, but you can also configure the plugin with the full path to the executable.

Plugin

You can download the plugin from the releases page. There are two ways to install it:

Configuration

The plugin provides some of its own configuration (see the screenshots below), but you'll also need to open Ludusavi to configure it as needed. For example, at this time, the plugin is not able to tell Ludusavi about your Playnite library sources, so you'll need to configure Ludusavi's roots separately.

Behavior can be overridden for specific games by using tags:

TagBack up after playRestore before playBack up non-PC platform before playRestore non-PC platform after play
[Ludusavi] SkipNoNoNoNo
[Ludusavi] Game: backupYes, without asking
[Ludusavi] Game: backup and restoreYes, without askingYes, without asking
[Ludusavi] Game: no backupNoNo
[Ludusavi] Game: no restoreNo
[Ludusavi] Platform: backupYes, without asking
[Ludusavi] Platform: backup and restoreYes, without askingYes, without asking
[Ludusavi] Platform: no backupNoNo
[Ludusavi] Platform: no restoreNo

For example, if the global backup-after-play option is enabled, but a game is marked with [Ludusavi] Skip, then it will not be backed up after play. However, the game will still be included when doing a full backup of all games from the menu.

[Ludusavi] Skip takes precedence over the other tags, and the no tags take precedence over their positive counterparts.

The following tags are only informational and do not have special behavior:
