QOL and fixes

Desktop Version 🖥

• QOL: many fixes towards the desktop version so you know what going on with the notifications
• IndiaGala Games: a scanner for IndieGala Client has now been added for your games, this one is a little rough but it works!
• Game Save Backup: allowed the Desktop Version of the script to be able to backup your game saves using ludusavi as soon as you open NSL. This is much better then what it was before; it only backed up when you downloaded a launcher haha they will be saved here /home/deck/NSLGameSaves
• Other Distros: made a few more changes to the Desktop version in regards to it working on other distros, feel free to try it!
• Sudo Password: you no longer need your sudo password for installing the plugin. sudo sucks man i never liked it, so i got rid of it!

Decky Plugin Version 🔌

• Shortcuts now grab and fetch its respective boot videos for your steam deck: make sure you select shuffle to see if there is any boot videos that was found. Not every game will have a boot video but i thought this was a cool idea! will add that to the desktop version very soon!
• Added the IndieGala Scanner: same as the desktop version!
• Improved performance
• fixed the streaming sites to no longer need "Auto Scan On": just simply download what you want.

Everything from above has been applied to the Decky Plugin as well!

Notes 📝

• There are now two .desktop files:
  • Desktop Version: NonSteamLaunchers.desktop (includes the option to install the latest version of the NSL Decky Loader PLugin").
  • Plugin Version: NSLPlugin.desktop (if you already have Decky Loader installed and want to install/update and dont want to use Desktop Mode.).

-Plugin Files:

• On Linux: Use the "NSLPlugin.Desktop" file to install the plugin if you have Decky Loader installed already.

• On Windows: Run the "NSLPluginWindows.exe" first, then run No_console.exe or Plugin Loader.exe

Windows Installation Steps:

1. Sign in to GitHub and go to this link.

2. Choose the latest link (or whichever version works for you).

3. Scroll down to "Artifacts" and download "PluginLoader Win". This is a zip file that you need to extract on your Windows machine. Make sure you're signed in to see the download link.

4. Download NSLPluginWindows.exe from here.

5. Run NSLPluginWindows.exe first. This will also create the necessary cef debugging file for Decky Loader.

6. Run either No_console.exe or Plugin Loader.exe, depending on your preference.

7. Go into Game Mode or Big Picture Mode to see the Decky Loader plugin and NonSteamLaunchers.

This setup will automatically add all your non-Steam games with artwork, correctly formatted for Windows. Only scanning will work; nothing else will function, so you can either auto-scan or manually scan your games.
