Add a way to manually add Games to the SteamVR Overlay #373

Would be great for Managing Demos and Games not downloaded from Oculus Home

The main problem with this feature is the lack of a thumbnail to show for the custom games.

"Add a non-steam game" could do this, but you need to check "include in VR library" under properties or it won't show on VR dashboard unless you uncheck VR filter.

I will have a look at this the next time i have some spare time.

The thumbnail can be set manualy within Steam. Just add the Revive exe as a non Steam Game. Add the Path to the Game .exe to the Launch Options, set the check for Add to VR Library and after that switch to the Raster View. If you Rightclick on the added Game Symbol you have the Option to set a Costum thumbnail. It should be 460x215 and a PNG, JPG or TGA. Couldn't find a way to set it via Coding for now.

The Added non Steam Games are added to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\config\shortcuts.vdf" file. Maybe Writing directly to this file would help.

The Added Thumbnails are copied to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\\config\grid"
