[Extension] Keep'em Safe!

Keep'em Safe! is an extension that creates a ZIP file of the current game/kit to back it up. There are currently two options:

1) Backups are saved in the games folder of the current workspace or in a specified folder.

2) Saving a game backs it up automatically. This one can be a life saver, though I prefer to do it manually to control which versions are backed up.

The generated ZIP isn't compressed - it simply stores the game folder.

How to Install

Grab it on StencylForge (next version coming after b368).


Disclaimer

I tested the extension on W7 only. Integrity of ZIP files was verified using WinRAR. If you get an error it's most likely because the folder isn't writable or a previous backup of the same game/kit is being used - no harm done.
Because of the reasons above I don't take responsibility for whatever damage the extension may cause.

Report any bugs here, please. Thanks.

Enjoy!


TODO for 0.2

- Validate alternative folder.
- Make it clearer when the workspace folder is being used.
- Show some confirmation if you backup via the menu.

I want to release 0.2 but I also need the ability to enable/disable the save button. Jon, do you mind if I modify OptionsPanel and ExtensionCP to allow it? If possible I would also like to expose the file chooser's AutoVerifyField to explore its feedback capabilities.

Sure, you're free to edit anything you'd like to improve your extension.

The warning text and icon refuse to show up no matter what I do. >:V

There is a call currently that disables them. Something like hideError.

It's disableErrorIcon() and I modified AutoVerifyField so the the error icon could be enabled/disabled at runtime, as well as the error message. I've tried plenty of solutions and inspected other parts of SW, but I couldn't make it work.

Did you implement the code for actually determining whether an error should be shown or not? The field verifier.

I did and it works. I must be missing something so I'll look at it again later.

Did you have a chance to update this? I'd like this one to go out to the public.

I'm on it.

Can you tell me again what is the improvement/fix you referred before, please? I can't find where it is.

In fact, I remember I released a version newer than the one corresponding to the opening post. It addressed some suggestions (including yours).

Anyway, I just built and tested it again. I'll send it to you via email.

Mainly this bug

1) Make a new game
2) Save
3) Modal dialog appears

I see. It looks like SW and the extension are somehow conflicting with that scenario. Neither can SW read game.xml nor the extension is able to backup.

Investigating...

Updates? Where did it go? What happened to it?

No updates, though if I make one it will be to create multiple backups, so a failed game doesn't corrupt the only backup.

I don't know why it isn't on Forge, if that's what you're asking.

That is correct. I was wondering if I could get a copy. Where does it back up the project to exactly? Another place on the computer or is there a web service you have set up so the copies are kept online? Dropbox maybe?
