Unselects download and does not perform action #48

Hey there, when I select a download, it will unselect after changing to 'patched' for example ( I am not sure if that is the cause ), does it even work with updates, or is it only made for actual new downloads?

Regards, Leon PS: I am running it as admin, yes

I've just used the app for the first time and had the same thing happen.

It should also work for updates. But since I rely on undocumented meta data information which Valve can change whenever they want, sometimes it breaks. Unfortunately, I have exams at the moment and don't have time to investigate this until the end of February.

For anyone who wants to dig into this, this is the code which checks if a game is getting downloaded: https://github.com/akorb/SteamShutdown/blob/master/SteamShutdown/App.cs#L17

Also, SteamShutdown does not require any admin priviliges. Therefore, better execute it as a normal user for sake of security.

For my understanding, with 'patched' you mean that the update download is finished, right? And which operating system are you using?

LeonTheDev-io commented 2 years ago

Uh, I think so, when it finished the actual downloading, it says patching and installs at the files into the right folders, I saw someone else making this possible with steams drive usage.
