Playnite 9 development update #4

Hello everyone,

I apologize for big delay since last update. There was nothing that interesting I've done since last update worth showing. I mainly worked on some background refactoring:

  • Completely rewritten grouping support on Grid view. 3rd party library I was using was really buggy so I had to write custom implementation for Playnite.
  • Moved some things like exclusion list and filter presets from settings files to game library.
  • Additional improvements to ...

Happy holidays!

Happy holidays everyone!

I want to thank everybody for supporting this project in 2020, especially given all that's been happening this year. It's really amazing that people still find time and money to support niche projects like Playnite. Thank you very much!

Lets hope that 2021 is better and that I manage to release more major updates then in 2020.

Again, thank you very much for continued support!

I'm currently focusing on housekeeping and refactoring needed for theme/extensions auto-update support. This requires major changes to the code base.

Also to remind you that the backlog for Playnite 8 is available on GitHub, if you want to see what's remaining to be implemented:
