• Known save locations for more than 7,000 games (sourced from PCGamingWiki)
  
• On-demand backup and restore for all saves
  
• Automatically back up a game when you finish playing it
  
• Able to back up saves from both the file system and the registry
  

• Plugin homepage (includes setup instructions and usage info)
  
• Plugin releases
  

• Ludusavi homepage (includes setup instructions and usage info)
  
• Ludusavi releases
  

• When you finish playing a game, the plugin won't try to back it up anymore if it's not a PC game (but you can configure it to ask if you still want it to).
  
• After backing up or restoring all games, you can click the notification for a full list of them.
  
• Ludusavi's manifest will be automatically updated (if possible) when doing backups - or, if the Internet connection is down, it will just use the existing local copy. An Internet connection is only strictly required for the very first manifest download.
  
• Better error handling and reporting.
  

• Support for erri120's extension update notifier.
  
• Ability to ignore specific games by tagging them as "ludusavi-skip". They'll still be included if you do a full backup of all games, but you won't be prompted for individual backups when you finish playing a game with this tag.
  
• Option to only show notifications on failure.

Even after adding the game and save location to the custom list in Ludusavi, the Playnite extension failed to back up the save data.

The blue buttons next to the game title don't have any popup saying what they are or what they do.

An option to (de)select all games in the list would be nice.

• Would you be willing to share your configuration (a screenshot of the Ludusavi custom entry would be fine)? It does respect custom entries, so maybe something else is going on here, like if the custom entry's name in Ludusavi is different than Playnite's name for the game (even just a capitalization/punctuation difference).
  
• Tooltips would be nice, but unfortunately aren't supported in the GUI library yet. I'd definitely like to be able to add them in the future.
  
• There's already a "(de)select all" button near the top of the Ludusavi window, in between "add root" and the search icon.

• The issue was that the capitalization wasn't the same between Ludusavi and Playnite.
  
• Dang.
  
• Not in the custom game list, where I have 40+ entries.
  

• Added game context menu entry to back up or restore the selected games (one or several).
  
• Updated for Playnite 8 and dropped support for Playnite 7.

If the backup tool creates a backup which is not recoverable without it, you can also pipe the backuped data into the trashcan; just put the saved data in a standard zip file or similar (as savegamebackup.net, gamesavemanager etc do).

In addition it does not use native user interface elements which is also a big negative in my book.

Other suggestions:
- do not rely on an online connection, make the utility have a local database first and do cache the stuff.
- there is no log file.

Perhaps I'll whip up a proper backup utility in Python which has more saner defaults.

Another thing is that this utility produces filenames which are too long on Windows.
