How are uninstalled games with left over save data handled?

What's your question?

Hi,
I want to switch from GameSave Manager to Ludusavi, but I am having problems with the program finding all the save files on my machine. I added all roots, but compared to GSM fewer games are being found. As far as I can tell all missing games are ones I have played in the past, with the save files still present on my system, but since uninstalled. GSM finds these save files and backs them up, but Ludusavi misses them, or at least most of them.

Examples:
I played Control through GOG, the save path is the same as in the manifest and if I add a custom game named "Control" and let it extend the manifest, the files are being found.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor I played through the GamePass <> EA Launcher integration, the game is not installed but the save files are being found.

Is there a way to scan for actual save files instead of Ludusavi first having to find the games inside the root folders? That way it would not matter if the game was installed or not, also this would probably help with games that have been installed without a launcher and with a folder name that is not being recognized.

Hi! Ludusavi should find save files no matter if a game is installed or not. The only case where that would be an issue is if the save location is relative to the install folder.

We can try to figure out what's going wrong here:

• What are the exact save locations on your system? (full paths)
• What roots do you have configured in Ludusavi?
• Do you have the "do not back up games with cloud support on these platforms" option enabled? If so, which platforms are selected?
