app_state_folder option not working in apps section #143

Open csrednicki opened 2 hours ago

csrednicki commented 2 hours ago

In documentation it is said that there is app_state_folder option in apps section. When I tried to use it, defining specific folder for application it wasn't working. I searched thru the current code and I couldn't find this option. How can I define state folder per application?

The documentation is outdated on that part, app_state_folder can only be defined per Moonlight client with something like:

https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/blob/9844022e90e5c1bae5ac464ad252f74d87f4d4d6/tests/assets/config.test.toml#L13-L15

Or you can change where Wolf will store all the app data by following this.

Would that work for you? What are you trying to achieve?

What are you trying to achieve?

For example I have Steam application, I installed a bunch of games in this app. Now in moonlight I want to have each of this games as separate icons. Pretty standard. If I will create separate entries in config.toml for each of this games (and pass STEAM_STARTUP_FLAGS with proper game id) this would create folders with different Steam app installations. It would ask me for my credentials for every single game and I would have to install it again, because it will not use original Steam app but app named as game (folder created in /etc/wolf/<paired_client_id>/<app_title>).

Currently I managed to get around it by creating symlinks from game title to Steam app folder and this is working. I thought I could ditch symlinks and use this app_state_folder feature but found it isn't working. In this case app_state_folder would be pointing to Steam folder and everything would be working fine.
