Construct 3

Find the Construct 3 folder fast and keep a local spare.

What Construct 3 is

This repository is Construct 3, a Windows utility. Find the Construct 3 folder fast and keep a local spare.

Construct 3 config and export files hide under AppData and Documents.

The CLI in this repository is the documented interface; the desktop build is the same job in an installer.

Editions

Two editions of the same tool:

• CLI — the source in this repo. Python 3.11+, local files only.
• Desktop build — Windows / macOS installer on the setup page.

Highlights

• Maps Construct 3 data and cache paths.
• Keeps a dated spare of config and export files.
• Skips empty and temp folders.
• Leaves the original tree in place.

The problem

A product-named desktop helper matches how people look for it.

Local copies only. No account step.

Environment

• Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
• Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
• Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI

Usage

Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help

--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.

Download

Windows and macOS installer
