Import entire folder of games

Open butterbutts opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Problem description

Right now you can only import one game at a time. This is a slow process if you have many games installed.

Feature description

Add a "Scan folder for games" option that allows the user to choose a folder where all of their Epic or GOG games are installed and import all of them automatically.

Alternatives

No response

Additional information

GOG Galaxy has this feature. Steam also does it automatically upon adding a library folder in the storage manager.

EpicGames currently does not offer this in their own launcher so it cannot be copied by Heroic. You need to bring that up with Epic :)

Games doesn't have metadata in their game directories that can be used for such option I'm affraid

I think something similar to this will be achieved when we have libraries implemented #1673 so will close this one, I don't see how Heroic would discover the games automatically without some infor there first.
