GOG Offline Backup - Cannot select OS

[Pontiac76]

After a somewhat decent sleep, and this particular MAC thing annoying me, I dug more into the code.

I went into /opt/retronas and started to look at the retronas.sh script. At the top, there's a bunch of predefined variables, specifically _CONFIG. Looking at that file I saw that there's a bunch of additional EXPORT variables defined. Tracing through whats going on in my head, I figured that the pat works out to be /opt/retronas/ansible/retronas_vars.yml. Getting into that, I see retronas_gog_os being set to "windows mac". Yanked the "mac", deleted my manifest file, and restarted the update and I've obtained the result I wanted.

However, the "bug" still exists with the UI not allowing me to change the OS.

Thanks for the detailed look, the gogrepo menus are broken at the moment, ever since i migrated to the new menus. it is known and is on my list of things. i'll look at fixing them today.

the file you want to look at is retronas/config/menus/gogrepo.json only the first menu is currently used. from here you can see on item 3 it is not of type script and command is a placeholder TOOL_COMMAND

it should look something like below, fwiw i need to confirm the below later today

            {
                "index":"03",
                "title": "Select OS",
                "description": "Change OS preferences",
                "id":"gog-os-input",
                "prompt": "",
                "type": "script",
                "group":"gogrepo",
                "command": "gogrepo_update"
            },

Thanks. I attempted to make the changes on my own, and I still end up in the recursive menus, even after I figured out "retronas -g".

I appreciate this effort. I meant to write my own app that'd do this kind of thing years ago, but gave up when I found that I didn't have enough drive space across all of my machines. Modern storage technology, GigE, a few TB of NAS storage, I'm quite happy with this so far. Thanks again.

this should be functional now (testing branch), could you please confirm

Looks good. I'm able to select the OS.
