Does it work when you set the installdir
manually before starting Steam?
I will test that tomorrow
https://github.com/leovp/steamfiles can parse ~/.steam/steam/appcache/appinfo.vdf
to find the canonically correct installdir.
Oh wow, this is great. Time to rewrite this project.
Am I correct in thinking that the appinfo.vdf
file contains all of the user's programs, regardless if they're installed or not?
It seems to contain all of the user's games and tools, regardless of whether they're installed or whether they're available for the current platform.
I have started a separate project over at https://github.com/dotfloat/Vapour, which is intended to be a serious thing, unlike this appmanifest
hack.
Basically what I want is to be able to write vapour install --windows "ultimate doom"
and have it use SteamCMD to download it somewhere without restarting Steam. (And eventually have a GUI, of course.)
I could also do auto-updates and launch games using source ports or wine. ;)
It'll take a few weeks before it's ready, but I think I'll leave this issue as WONTFIX, unless someone else wants to have fun fixing it.

I installed NEKOPARA Vol. 0 using the python script. However, when I looked at my
common
folder, I saw that all the files were thrown there instead of being in a separate folder, like all the other games. Looking at the appmanifest files, I saw that the"installdir"
field was set to""
, instead of something useful.The script should supply a
"installdir"
field if it is blank to prevent this from happening.
