Zip Importer

[jababda]

Feature request/question Would it be possible to add a zip importer of some sort?

Like point this at a download folder with the downloaded compressed game in it, and decompress and override the old game files in the games install location?

It's possible to add this to the GameManagement plugin.

I also thought about adding auto-updates to the F95 plugin but that still requires some research

Either or would be awesome. To me it would be a big win to just on startup or whenever have it scan a folder and try to map zip files to tracked games. Then it could just give a notification or prompt to decompress the files + update the launch exe. I have no idea if thats possible in playnite but it would be real nice.

I've done a bit of tinkering my own manager app, where I tried to get auto downloading working. Its doable but fiddly as each download provider, anon files, mega etc needs its own handler to get the right download link. I ended up taking the approach of letting browsers and things like the mega app do what they do best and handle the download.
