Version
2025.7.11.2

Highlights

Breaking changes!

In this release we moved the wishlist file to a different location. Make to sure to copy Unify data\temp\lstWishlist.xml to Unify data\app\tools\wishlist\index.xml.

The Unify data folder can be navigated by right-clicking the Tools button in Unify's main window and then, in the popup menu, click Paths > Unify's app data.

Quality of Life

Some useful QoL features have been added. For example, Unify will now inform you if you are searching for a game in our Shopper that is already in your Owned Games Library. It will at least help our demented developer to spare some money 😜. Also, you can now assign Tags to wishlist items to categorize them.
