4.0 release
🕑 Added 2018-04-16 16:39:28 +0000 UTC It's finally here. Thanks for the patience, it took way longer then I anticipated. I need to mention one thing and that's the fullscreen mode. It's not in the state that I want. It's currently feature limited primarily because themming support needs to be completely rewritten (check my previous post) and it was not worth writing all the features in old system and then redoing them. I will improve it with one of the 4.x versions which is going to include new themming.You need to download and reinstall this version manually, 4.0 is not distrusted to everyone via auto update yet.

It looks like you can't execute Fortnite directly without starting the launcher first (it won't run the launcher for you), so to count playtime point the Play action to Epic launcher. It will count the time while the launcher is running so you need to make sure that you close it when you stop playing.
Loving the update so far! Now I only need to figure out how to make Fortnite playtime track correctly, so I can see how much time I'm wasting away with that game! Edit: Haven't tested with all Emulators, or games, but for some reasons Playnite crashes whenever I start Super Smash Bros Brawl with the Dolphin Emulator.

Cool! I'm not sure you noticed, but you can also change completion status when editing multiple games at once. All new fields are editable on multiple games at once.
Great work! I've already written my first plugin - to update completion status of selected games to Completed.
