--2.3.37--

Added

  • Ability to do shortcut passthrough for .desktop shortcuts on Linux.

--2.3.36--

  • Fixed the change in 2.3.31 that prevented GOG/Epic Parser from working unless directory overrides were set.



--2.3.31--

Added

  • Experimental parser sections. If people don't like them they can be removed, but I think they clean up the parsers significantly.

Added

  • GOG Galaxy parser! 

  • Epic and GOG parsers have launcher and launcher-less modes!

  • Icons no longer can be set to exes (which would result in those exe's being copied to grids folder).



--2.3.24--

Added

  • Ability to override manifests directory in epic parser (so that for example the Legendary store can be used instead).


Changed

  • Totally refactored parserInputs in userConfigurations and presets to allow for less clutter and more varied parsers in the future.


This release requires you to go into settings and force re-download config presets



--2.3.23--

Fixed 

  • Epic parser in the case where manifests file doesn't specify executable location.



--2.3.22--

  • Better UI for enabling and disabling parsers. This can still be done from within the parsers themselves but in addition there are now toggles on the navigation bar on the right, as well as an "enable/disable" all toggle.

  • Documented issue discovered by Discord user @KiwiKitten that Steam parser only works for Steam games that appear in at least one category.

Icon support! Icons are now on equal footing with other types of artwork and can be added from SteamGridDB.

Fixed

--2.3.16--

Changed

  • Enabled steamgriddb image provider by default in new parsers (previously default provider was set to none)


Fixed

  • Totally reworked the way SRM keeps track of known steam directories. Should fix the issue some people have been having where the "remove all" button gets greyed out because SRM thinks there are no directories to remove from.

  • Fixed issue 232



--2.3.15--

Fixed

  • Possibility of steam parser breaking because of slightly different possible key in sharedconfig.vdf (thanks「easy revenge! for pointing this out)
