can I import my original flash save files (.sol) into ruffle?

[nicomicap]

I want to continue right where I left off in a game but when I load it up with ruffle (on firefox) it shows as if i've never played it

Ruffle now has a save manager (added in #10040) allowing you to replace a game's save data with an existing save file. Just right-click the game and click "Open Save Manager".

here is save locations should anyone in the future find this discussion when looking for save data, but this is from the discord faq (of course discord is a terrible place to put information that everyone needs, but eh)

this is for desktop

Linux:   /home/<username>/.local/share/ruffle

macOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/ruffle

Note: Depending on the level of trust your device attributes to the download, this can be the physical directory or the virtual/sandboxed version of it.
example:
/Users/<username>/Library/Containers/rs.ruffle.ruffle/Data/Library/Application\ Support/ruffle/`


Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Ruffle

In this directory, you will find log files, a preferences.toml  configuration file if you have any settings customized, as well as shared object library (save) data. ```

I'm not seeing "Open Save Manager" in the context menu, on the web. What should I do to enable it?

[Croworbit]

Obviously I can play the game and unlock the levels again but then I don't need the save files.

ah, I had feared that would be the case for some games.
this may also be worth mentioning in an issue/feature request

I'm of the opinion that ruffle's web save manager isn't ideal and it seems the problems you are having help prove that

[orazioedoardo]

it might also be the case where since the game only saves when closed, you replacing data will have no effect, as once closed it will overwrite your replaced data with the queued data

What constitutes a closing the game though? I'm playing in a web UI. Is the game able to detect that the tab is closing and save the game?

What happens I think is that you can only replace save data after the game has been started and saved something named after what you want to replace, at which point the game doesn't read the save data again.

#18544
is my issue on the save manager's issues (and other save data in flash game gripes)

maybe you can leave a comment there about what you think, or (better idea, really) open a new issue discussing your problems, (better chance of help)

[orazioedoardo]

Also the save manager seems to be "global", it includes every save data in browser storage for every game. Probably it should be scoped per-some-identifier of the SWF.

what constitutes a game close

also a good question, my guess, page reload
