What's Changed
2 MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS
Decky Plugin:
~NonSteamLaunchers Decky Version is now out of the testing store and in to the MAIN STORE of Decky Loader!!!!!
~Visual changes have been made to make it look nicer with more added features coming
~Added visual notifications
~made room for future log
~added a cooldown system for the scanner
~Decky Plugin Now removes the Desktop version of NSL to avoid conflicts
~fixed some itch.io paths to the scanner( not all will work yet)
Desktop Version:
~Fixed itchio paths in the scanner
~fixed logs paths (thanks @short-circuit )
For both versions work still needs to be done to make the scanners pick up more games and to add more launchers to the Plugin and Desktop Mode. I still need to also add the "Move To SD Card" function as well to the plugin.
REAL TIME SHORTCUTS IN DESKTOP MODE ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO PLUGIN USERS:
The Decky Plugin now also works in Desktop Mode. what does this mean? Currently in the per-realease version of Decky Loader. The Decky team has made major improvements and strides in getting things working for the Loader to work in Desktop Mode. Naturally, the Auto Scanner inside of NonSteamLaunchers automatically works and picks up your games in Desktop Mode as well as you use the launchers. This means steam no longer needs to restart to see your shortcuts anymore!!!! With this change, that means going forward the NSLGameScanner.py will be phased out somewhat, im still going to keep it for the time being, but slowly there will be code changes to phase it out in a good way.
Also, going forward now that the Decky Plugin is finally in the Main Store of Decky Loader <3. i can finally start working on the next step for NonSteamLaunchers. The whole goal was to create a plugin that installed these things and today is that day! i wanted to thank everyone in the steam deck community and all the contributors thus far that have contributed in any small way to the project. it means alot and you guys have made the steam deck community better, you guys are the geniuses, not me!
I recommend the Decky Plugin Version Now over the Desktop Version if you're using SteamOS.
If you use the Desktop Version, always use the Latest .Desktop file.
