No longer maintained?

[SpiderSnack]

I noticed that Theo added a note in November stating "No longer maintained". I see several forks that look interesting, but do we have an "official" fork yet?

[Toxicwire]

I'm going to take a guess and say no. I take it Rallion was the original developer, he left the project then Theo picked it up for a while and dropped it. It's up to whoever steps up and takes on the responsibility to continue the project.

EDIT: I also see we have a few games in common and huge libraries. Would you like to be friends to play some games or help each other with the OCD of having awful libraries and try to sort them? Lol.

[SpiderSnack]

Sure, send me a request :)
I'm trying out a couple of the new forks, when I get time. I'll let you know how that goes.

Hi, did you find any of the forks interesting? I'm trying to mantain my library but it's a hassle :)

[DaveHuman]

Just Googled for Depressurizer after a few months away to find the Theo47 fork no longer maintained :( Such a shame. Anyone tried any other forks? Need something to maintain my grotesque library!

I'm using mvegter's fork, which doesn't seem to be on the fork map for either Rallion or Theo47. He/she seems to be actively maintaining it and has been responding to the few issues that have been posted.

Does mvegter's fork have more features than Theo or Rallion?

[shino]

A few, yes, but nothing dramatic in my opinion. There's a notable bug right now preventing filters from being saved (which admittedly is pretty serious) but the dev knows of it, at least. I suppose until this bug is fixed, as long as the older versions work there's no real reason to switch.

MVegter here,

Few changes are more scraping (truesteamachievements), fixed a few bugs and filters are properly working. Also supports the latest changes to the Steam store pages.

Plz praise the new dev and make this a sticky post ;)

[Murtun™]

Don't praise me, maybe a little, but praise Rallian for this great application and Theo for having continued developing it for a long time. I'm just trying to keep it alive and usable.

[MonkeyJug]

How can I update from Theo's version and keep my manual categories?

edit: ignore that, I worked out I had to manually point to my old .profile

Hey, man. Any plans of keep maintaining it? The last build requires an update because is no longer scrapping well and the Language auto-cat is not working.

I've got about 500 games returning either an unknown year, no tags/genres, or both.

[Murtun™]

Try it again with version 3.0.0

[Willie D. Longpong]

I'm giving 3.0.0 a shot and the default language isn't English and I don't see an obvious way to change it.

EDIT: I got past the initial options pop up and found the language options in the usual place.

EDIT 2: Though I've selected English, there is a still a lot of Dutch getting through. It's usable but someone less familiar with the program might really struggle.

ps many thanks for your efforts.
