Files and settings¶
Everything is kept next to WindowManager.exe. Nothing goes in the registry.
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
windowmanager.json |
Saved games (with each game's display settings and game config), the last target and per-game window profiles. Written atomically. File > Open config file opens it. |
windowmanager.ini |
App window size/position, Always on top, the terminate-confirmation preference, the automatic fit check on/off, the game info overlay (shown, corner, in screenshots), the floating bar (on / off, position), the window opacity and the focus switch and terminate hotkeys. While a game's display settings are on, also how to undo them. |
windowmanager.log, windowmanager_old.log |
Rolling application log (the old one is the previous file after rotation at 1 MB). |
logs/<game>.log, logs/<game>_old.log |
Rolling log per game. View all logs in the app with File > View logs... (Ctrl+L). |
reports/<game>/ |
Recorded sessions (<start>-samples.csv per second, <start>.json summary) and picture comparisons (compare-<time>.json / .png); see Reports. |
reports/sessions.csv |
One row per recorded session of every game. |
snapshots/<game id>/ |
Screenshots from the Capture tab. |
helixsr/ |
The built HelixSR (HelixSR-<version>/), the install helper script, and downloads while a set-up runs. HelixSR's Python lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\HelixSR. |
Outside that folder the app only writes where you ask it to:
- Game config edits the game's own config files and keeps
<file>.wm-originalcopies next to them. See Game config. - HelixSR replaces a game's FSR DLL and keeps the original as
*.original.dll, and writes the game'shelixsr.ini. See HelixSR. - GPU & Power changes Windows' own graphics setting per exe and the power plan / mode. See GPU and power.
To start completely fresh, close the app and delete the files you want to reset.
