Application Manifest documentation missing #530

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on the application manifest. A list of available keys, or at least a reference file would be nice.

Agree!

Edit: I have found an example at https://github.com/matzman666/OpenVR-AdvancedSettings/blob/master/bin/win64/manifest.vrmanifest but I don't know where that person got it from...

Viveport and Steam install a few .vrmanifest-files on your computer where I found the same keys this guy was using. I also found out that if your file is encoded as "UTF8 with signature" then OpenVR won't load it.

Thanks for the tip!

I got it my thing to work yesterday. I had lots of various issues trying to register my manifest file. And as pointed out here there is a lack of documentation regarding manifest files. Through trial and error I managed to get through. For future reference I found the files appconfig.json and vrserver.txt to be useful for debugging all of which are found in the Steam folder.

I was just looking into this stuff myself, would be great if there where documentation on this!
