Support for all installed games #9

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

Can you develop the program further to search for every installed game, not only Steam games?

jonathanlermitage commented 9 years ago

Hi, if you know a non-Steam game that suffers of the redist package installers problem (Windows, or Linux/OSX), be sure I'll add support for it. Regards,

Every (?) GOG.com and Origin game. Couldn't your app search installers from the entire hard drive?

jonathanlermitage commented 9 years ago

I found no redist package installers for GOG, Origin, Uplay games. That's why I don't really support them (but you still can add "Custom folders" outside of Steam games, it should work). The program simply searches files and folders patterns. In previous releases I forced users to scan Steam directories only, but the most recent releases let you choose custom folders everywhere you want. The detection technique doesn't change.

If you know a non-Steam game that suffers of the redist package installer problem, I'll need its name and the folders or files that we should remove; it would help me a lot. Thx.

Hotline Miami 2 on GOG. "__redist" folder contains over 100MB of unnecessary files.

This is a first non-Steam game I ever checked. I'm fairly sure that there are many more.

Thank you very much. I'll add the "__redist" (and some variants) folder to the pattern list. Release 2.4.1 comes asap.

Feature implemented (you can choose every folder you want). Is integrated to the upcoming 2.4.1 release.
