Unable to proerly create manual YAML entry for Steam, launch fails #487

I'm switching to desktop mode to add a game, and it works as long as I'm in desktop mode. As soon as I switch to Game Mode, any entries I created go away and have to be re-created. This is with Chimera 38, using GamepadUI.

Ok apparently this is a known issue, and the workaround is to manually do YAML files in ~/.local/share/chimera/shortcuts/ but I'm not having any luck getting it running.

Mod is in /home/gamer/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY VII/ There's a soft link to the directory as well /home/gamer/FINAL FANTASY VII/

When using the real path, it just gives up (might be permissions). When I put the shortcut path in the YAML file, it tries to start and hangs up. the "cmd" is the .exe file (SYWV5controlpanel.exe) and the compat_tool is proton_7

or

Could use some advice here. Not sure I'm doing this YAML right. I should emphasize that I can add this manually in desktop mode and run it.

https://github.com/ShadowBlip/steam-shortcut-manager might work for you.
