Enhancement to desktop shortcuts

Open Sixdd6 opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

I've been setting up quite a few emulated games for gamevault and one thing stood out. I'm using batch files as a way to launch the emulator with arguments for things like fullscreen mode and path to the game etc... The only problem with this process is that when I create desktop shortcuts for the games through gamevault the shortcut doesn't have any icon which makes it feel kinda jank.

Desired solution I'd like the ability to upload icons for each game similar to how we can customize posters and backgrounds. These icons would then be used when the user creates a desktop shortcut from within gamevault.

Right now gamevault creates Url shortcuts that calls the apps protocol. Unfortunately they don't have the ability to set a icon that is not from the assembly they pointing on. It's a Windows thing. I'll think about it again. But right now, I can't think of a solution.
