[Request] Bottles Integration?

Open bayazidbh opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, I just found this project today (was looking for Steam while testing Endless OS). The project seems interesting, and Lutris integration would mean that it has an option for Wine game. That said, setting up on Lutris is rather tedious in my opinion, so I've been looking into the option of using Bottles instead.

Would it it be possible to have a Bottles integration as well? Bottles does have a Library/Gallery mode and CLI option now, so I'd imagine it might be possible to read and parse those? Thanks regardless.

Sounds interesting. Do you have any pointers to its CLI and how to use it? I can't seem to find anything.

They first talked about it in the 2022.3.28 release blog post and then later on announced .desktop support for 2022.4.28, it's also on the site's documentation page under advanced section. Not sure how to connect that and its Library mode though, I'm not entirely sure on how Library entries are store.

The next version of BoilR will have a Bottles integration.

The newest version has Bottles integration:

(give it a couple minutes after this post for it to build the new versions, and for flatpak a couple hours)
