And option to search for games installed, and another to log into other launchers #75

I have several GOG games installed from several various past installations of Windows, and since they weren't re-installed/downloaded in this latest install of Windows, SteamGridDB Manager doesn't see them on my computer. Similar situation with Overwatch and Diablo 3, they're both on my computer and ready to play, but they were installed ages ago on some past installation of Windows, but they're not showing up in SteamGridDB Manager. Having an option to search the drives, or even give the program a path to look at for any game files would be great.

Another thing that would be nice would be to log into your other launcher accounts (preferably with API or 0auth tokens to avoid the security/trust implications of having to enter in usernames and passwords directly), to get a list of all the games you have in those accounts.

The problem here is that I'm not sure how we would know what to search for. We don't have a database of games and where to find them like apps like Nvidia Experience do (even their database is incomplete). Open to ideas on how this could be done.

As for the second question, if you could log into accounts and see games that are not installed, they wouldn't be playable if you tried to launch them. What's the purpose behind that kind of feature?
