Currently it is necessary to go to the Store tab, scroll to the free games, and buy them manually. It is also necessary to check periodically whether or not new games are present.

It would be easier if this process was automated.

Progress now reports stats like disk activity.

With this all child processes are handled by gogdl.
So killing gogdl will kill sub processes etc..

This change allows us to track all processes. Eliminates risk when process "escapes" and gogdl exits, making Heroic think game is not started.

Also uses brilliant abstraction used in lutris-wrapper for /proc serialization

Why

There is currently no solution to remove files from the cloud. A user might want to remove their files from the cloud for privacy reasons, or they might have uploaded the wrong folder on accident and included personal information in those files.

How

This PR extends the existing command pool by adding a save-clear command to the cli. This command doesn't take all the arguments of save-sync since most of them are unnecessary.

It requires path, id and --os|platform arguments, and accepts --token and --name arguments.

The command lists all the files in the cloud and uses the existing remove_file(file) method to send a DELETE request for each. If it succeeds, the cloud bucket for the game will be empty.

Testing

I've tested this by uploading a miscelanious amount of random files, verifying they indeed existed by downloading them and then verifying that they would no longer download after running this command.

Future Plans

I intend to open a PR in the Heroic Launcher repo if/when this gets merged, adding the ability for Heroic users to clear their cloud saves at any time from the Game Settings.

It would be nice to have a command to get information about a potential download of a game in a specific installation directory, without actually installing the game in the process.

I imagine something like gogdl install-info game --install_dir="some path" (not sure if this follows the project's conventions, just an example)

The command would output at least this information:

• Total download size (the complete size of the game, without considering what was already downloaded)
• Total download size excluding re-usable files found in that installation dir (*)

(*) to add some clarification here, it's not the size of the uncompressed files in the disk, it's the size of the compressed files that would be downloaded, if the files on disk are uncompressed and the downloaded files are compressed we want the value of the compressed files which is the actual amount we are not re-downloading

We could include, as extra, some calculations with those numbers:

• remaining size: total - reusable to know how much is left in absolute units
• remaining %: (total - reusable) / total to know how much is left in %

These last extra numbers are not critical for this feature, we can calculate that with the other 2 values anyway

do you have some documentation how i can build this?

this is all im getting so far

pyinstaller --onefile --name gogdl ?? gogdl/cli.py it builds but unsuccessfully calls errors when run

heroic-gogdl/dist $ ./gogdl
