Main Features

• CHT File Import: Easily load .cht files that contain cheat codes to populate your tables.

• Table Management: Create and organize separate tables for each game to keep everything tidy.

• Move Cheats: Select and change the position of a cheat.

• View and Edit: See details for each cheat, edit them or add new ones.

• Single and Bulk Add: Add a single cheat or use "Magic add" to paste multiple cheats as free text.

• Export: Save your tables as .cht files to share or use elsewhere.

• Logo Download: Download logo/boxart from external services (RAWG / TheGamesDB) and set them as the table image.

• Localization (i18n): UI texts available in Italian and English (src/lib/i18n/{it.json,en.json}); the backend returns i18n keys that are translated by the UI.

Recent changes (changelog)

Below is an extended summary of recent modifications (frontend and backend), test instructions and developer notes.

Key changes

• Single Add button with dropdown: contains Add one (single form) and Magic add (bulk modal).
• "Bulk add" modal with smart parsing (src/routes/home/table/+page.svelte): supports several pasted formats (labelled pairs desc:/code:, blank-line separated blocks, single-line desc code, or alternating lines). It's designed to simplify fast imports of many cheats.
• Migration to stable identifiers: lists now use id as the Svelte key to avoid duplicate/duplicate DOM elements.
• Robust drag & drop: integration with SortableJS (handle, fallbackOnBody, ghost/chosen classes) and order saving via update_record_order that sends an array of ids to the backend.
• Row selection + header Up/Down controls: select a single row and move it with header arrows; a toast appears if nothing is selected.
• Per-row Up/Down buttons and actions: each row has actions (View, Edit, Move up/down, Delete).
• Edit page uses id: the edit link and page now look up the record by id (no longer by desc).
• Home refresh after import: after importing a .cht the table list is reloaded automatically.
• Logo functionality: frontend fetchAndSetLogo() calls the backend which tries to fetch images from RAWG/TheGamesDB and save them for the table.
• Backend localization → i18n keys: the backend now returns error keys (e.g. settings.api_key_missing, home.no_game_found_rawg, table.duplicate_desc) instead of hard-coded Italian strings. These keys are translated in src/lib/i18n/it.json and src/lib/i18n/en.json.
