Game save data backup tool Ludusavi v0.28 brings new features

If you want to make backups of your game saves, the free and open source tool Ludusavi is an essential item to put in your toolbox. The developer just put up a new release, v0.28.0, which includes a bunch of fixes and new features.

Cross-platform so you can run it on Linux (including Steam Deck), Windows and macOS. Fully featured with the ability to detect thousands of games across Steam, GOG, Epic, Heroic Launcher, Lutris and more. It has a full user interface, as well as command-line tools. Useful for backing up to another drive or anywhere else like somewhere on the cloud.

For this release here's the new features added:

• On Linux, for Lutris roots that point to a Flatpak installation, Ludusavi now checks $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME inside of the Flatpak installation of Lutris.
• Custom games now let you specify installed folder names. This can be used to satisfy the and path placeholders in cases where Ludusavi can't automatically detect the right folder. For more info, see the custom games document.
• On the "other" screen, there is a new option to skip backups when saves are only removed but not added/updated. This can be useful because uninstalling a game may cause some of its data (but not all) to be removed, but you may not want to exclude that data from your backups yet.
• CLI: config show command.
• CLI: The backup, restore, cloud upload, and cloud download commands now support a --gui option for graphical dialog prompts.
• CLI: The backup and restore commands now support a --dump-registry option, which includes the serialized registry content in the output. This may be useful if you're consuming the --api output to back up with another tool, but don't have a good way to check the registry keys directly.
• CLI: The find command now supports --fuzzy and --multiple options. This is also available for the api command's findTitle request.
• CLI: The wrap command now supports several options from the backup command: --path, --format, --compression, --compression-level, --full-limit, --differential-limit, --cloud-sync, --no-cloud-sync.

There's some other behaviour changes and bug fixes too.
