Couple of suggestions to improve Itch app

Hi. After a while of vesting  Itch.io and manually updating games i got tired of it and downloaded Itch app in hopes that it keep games up to date. While it kind of does that there are issues. New version of game is put in new folder not updated directly over existing game, basically you end up starting game from start all over again. Would it be too hard to implement script that moves save folder from old version to new and delete old game version afterward? 

Speaking of Itch app itself. Would be nice if it showed installed game version in library and newest version online. That way we would see when to run "Check for game updates".

Also would be nice some way to add those games that are listed on Itch.io but not supported by Itch app downloader because they are hosted on mega, mediafire etc. 

Well that's all i have for now. Thank you for reading and I hope these improvements will come sooner than later.

Awesome idea. I'm hoping this is used as well.
