This is an early test release. It is not recommended for managing real game saves.

This is the first public beta. It implements the planned core features: adding games, backing up saves, deleting backups, and restoring saves.

The public beta may be unstable. If saves appear to be missing, check the save_data folder in the installation directory. Its JSON files and subfolders contain the save information.
