Hi, I hope it’s okay for me to ask questions here. Didn’t really know where else to go.

Basically I’d like to create a script that launches GZDeck with a specific IWAD and mod/mods with a single click, bypassing the selection screen. That way I can add all my favorite mods to a Steam collection and run them as standalone games.

As a suggestion for a future update, it would be awesome to have a button that creates a desktop shortcut for whatever the current selection is. Desktop shortcuts can easily be added to Steam and work in game mode without any tinkering. I’ve done this with my favorite Minecraft instances using Prism launcher.

Anyway, idk if you still have any interest in updating this or not. If you do, adding that feature would be freaking awesome. If not, I’d be really grateful if you could show me how to create them manually. If that’s even possible.

P.S. Thank you for creating this!
