RetroDECK 0.8.4b

Release date: 2024-08-XX

Information

We fixed several issues with downloaded scraped data not showing up in ES-DE.

For some users the scraped data was not moved correctly over to the subfolder retrodeck/ES-DE/.

Some of these issues were caused by the old manifest structure and certain Zenity prompts. We will be moving away from Zenity and are making a brand new RetroDECK manifest in 0.9.0b (MORE ON THAT LATER).

How will this patch work?

When you upgrade RetroDECK will check if the folders downloaded_media and themes still exists under the retrodeck/ folder.

It will also check so the symlinks for gamelists and collections are correct and if not update them.

It will check the es_settings have the correct filepaths for the retrodeck/ES-DE/ folders and if not update the values.

If themes & downloaded_media still exist:

The folders will be moved into retrodeck/ES-DE/.

If duplicate folders exists:

If the folders exists at both places retrodeck/ and retrodeck/ES-DE/ the folders from retrodeck/ will be merged into the folders under the downloaded_media and themes in retrodeck/ES-DE/.

RetroDECK Framework / Backend:

Fixed:

  • Folders were not correctly placed and moved from retrodeck/ to the new folder structure under the retrodeck/ES-DE/ in some scenarios for users causing the ES-DE data to be not found by ES-DE.

  • String values of es_settings were not updated for MediaDirectory and UserThemeDirectory in some scenarios for users causing the ES-DE data to be not found by ES-DE.

  • On new installations two folders could be created for scraped data, example: one downloaded_media under retrodeck/ and one under retrodeck/ES-DE/.

Added

  • Post-update CLI trigger command for debugging.
