nostatoo add-non-steam-game <name> <executable> [start_directory]

Editing non-steam games

 $ nostatoo edit-non-steam-game
nostatoo edit-non-steam-game <appid> [args]

args are given as key/value elements, separated by the first equal sign.

NOTE: There is no validation for fields. Non-existant fields will be added blindly.
NOTE: Tags cannot be edited this way yet.

For example:

  nostatoo edit-non-steam-game 1234564400 "appname=Nice app"
  nostatoo edit-non-steam-game 1234564400 'Executable="/run/current-system/sw/bin/nice-app"'

Known useful field names:
  - Name: appname
  - Steam appid: appid
  - Executable: Exe
  - Start directory: StartDir
  - Launch options: LaunchOptions
  - Desktop file: ShortcutPath

See also field names for extra data in `show-non-steam-game`

 $ nostatoo edit-non-steam-game 3143231757 "appname=Renamed app"

Adding assets

 $ nostatoo add-asset
nostatoo add-asset <appid> <type> <file|url>

Type is either

  - horizontal_capsule (${APPID}.png)
  - vertical_capsule (${APPID}p.png)
  - logo (${APPID}_logo.png)
  - hero (${APPID}_hero.png)

If a file is given, it is copied over.
If an URL is given, the image is downloaded

Existing assets are overwritten.

 $ nostatoo add-asset 3613214400 logo htts://example.com/logo.png

Batch operations

It's possible to do batch operations and more shenanigans by using dump-non-steam-games and import-non-steam-games.

The format of import-non-steam-games is the format of dump-non-steam-games.

Importing an unmodified dump should be a no-op, though it will rewrite the database.
