Steam games not detected
I have two steam library folders on the (D:) drive and on the (F:) drive.
When I compress games from the (F:) drive, CompactGUI can detect that it's a steam game and and shows the estimated size.
When I compress games from the (D:) drive, it doesn't detect that it's a steam game and doesn't show any estimate.
I used steam to move a game that wasn't detected on the (D:) drive to the (F:) drive and CompactGUI can detect that it's a steam game.
What's the folder structure of the steam directory on the D drive?
It should be something like D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/[games]
In the steamapps folder, do you see a bunch of appmanifest_xxxx.acf files?
The folder structure of steam directory on both drives is the same and the steamapps folder has a bunch appmanifest_xxxx.acf files
\Games\Steamapps\common\[games]
The library works fine on steam and I tried removing it and creating it again in steam with the default structure D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/[games] but that didn't help
No idea why that isn't working. I've got Steam games on F and D as well and it works fine
It should be something like
D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/[games]
Legacy Libraries were :/Steam/steamapps and may still be created that way, though the new method can use any folder name for the root directory.
The SteamLibrary change is still relatively recent.
Still not sure why that causes an issue, as the steam folder detection starts at the game folder you choose, and checks two directories above to see if it is the "steamapps" folder. The root folder name shouldn't matter.
Edit: Actually now that I've typed that, I'm going to guess I've done something stupid and the program cares about capitalisation of "steamapps". I'll check this later

Can confirm the issue. The "steamapps" folder has to be lowercase - otherwise the detection doesn't occur. If you capitalize any letter from that "root" folder's name - both v3.8 and v4.0 beta 4 can't predict the compression efficiency (v3.8 reports "?", and v4.0 beta 4 reports the "0%").
Tried that with three separate drives (I have custom libraries across multiple drives on the same PC) and the "stock" Steam library (Steam\steamapps\common) on top of that. The games were exactly two levels below the "steamapps" folder, ofc (\steamapps\common[game]) like they should be. The random games I picked were in the compression database, ofc. (just to be sure that it's not an issue with "custom" library folders)
