[Feature] Button to Upload/Download SaveFiles #64

@Speiger

Description

@Speiger

Simply adding a button to manually upload/download savefiles.
It would make the process down to 1 step instead of having to open up the website, then trying to find where the emulator is, and then having to figure out where the savefile is.

Idea being: Add a button "Download/Upload Save File" which opens a Select Folder/File screen where you pick what you need. And then it would download the latest save file or upload the save file being picked.

I already checked out the Viability of this feature.
While "Game Actions" in the Playnite API can't do it, the General Purpose Game Menu (Right click context) API can achieve this as you are allowed to simply run code in there. (Its a callback)
API: https://api.playnite.link/docs/tutorials/extensions/menus.html?tabs=csharp

On top of it you are given a list of games. And since the Game Source is "RomM" you can check if a game should have this "Download/Upload" button and can filter games out that are not present.

2 Things that stop me from doing a PR directly.

  • 1: No API documentation. How do i upload/Download stuff to/from the RomM Server? I mean i have a instance running.
  • 2: How do i Test Playnite plugins in dev? Like i have 0 clues.

But i hope that this research helps make this a lot quicker being done ^^"
