Notes
- By design, it will update your collection's files and database(s). All changes are backed up before any changes are made, but if in doubt please make your own additional backup too. Also, it can be run in 'trainer wheels' mode which describes what would be made without actually making any changes.
- Once installed, there is an automatic update option to ensure it keeps in sync with the latest version.
A lot more information (with detailed instructions) is available on the github wiki.
I hope you find it useful as I do.. enjoy 😀
