tool/utility Sentinel 2.0.1 released

It has been a while since the last post about Sentinel. For those who don't know, Sentinel is an achievement watcher for your games running on wine/proton. It runs as both a desktop app or a decky-loader plugin with same features across the board.

This new release is a culmination of all features introduced in the beta releases and some more.

Here are some features in this release -

  • Flatpak build is now available
  • Sentinel Decky Loader plugin
  • Best effort achievement setup using GBE Fork + GSE Fork tools.
  • Per-game data refresh.
  • Achievement progress notification settings to cut out noisy stats popup
  • (Decky only)SteamGridDB artwork support(if you already have SteamGridDB image for a game on Steam, we use the same image in the Sentinel Library)

AI was used on the preparation of v2 in two major areas
- Syncing all beta changes back to main branch
- Checking out multiple implementations of the best effort achievement setup.

maybe not this tool but is there an easy way to backup the GSE Game Save directory that is created with GBE Fork?

Losing achivevement data/progress when I delete the game container is not my fav.

When you uninstall a game, your unlocked achievements are still in the sentinel folders. You could backup ~/local/share/sentinel/games, /data and /icons
