Integrate bottles game runner into minigalaxy ?

[Quarall]

Linux newbie here, I really like the UI of mini-galaxy definitely the best, but fellow newbies are likely to wonder were all their games are and enable the show windows games mode. From a usability experience however whatever mix of wine/proton used in mini-galaxy does not fair so well in my limited testing on out of the box Manjaro KDE.

I installed Steam, gamehub, lutris, mini-galaxy and bottles, in my testing of GoG offline installer bottles seemed to the best of the bunch in terms of compatibility, using stock settings no tweaks.

So would it be possible to integrate the bottles game mode into the process of installing windows games in mini-galaxy enhancing overall compatibility ? (again newbie here so no technical knowledge if possible).

Here's what I noted from testing mini-galaxy and bottles, from a sample of my library. Broken Sword 3 mini galaxy = wine fails to extract error. Bottles = installs and runs fine.

Broken Sword 4 mini galaxy = installs and runs but hangs on black screen. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Clive barkers Undying mini galaxy = installs and runs but hangs on intro. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Dark Reign 2 mini galaxy = installs and runs but hangs on black screen. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Deus Ex mini galaxy = installs and runs but black screen while music plays. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Deus Ex Invisible War mini galaxy = installs and runs but hangs on black screen. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Freespace 2 mini galaxy = installs but fails to run (wine errors). bottles = installs and runs fine.

Forgotten Realms Demon Stone mini galaxy = installs and runs but hangs on intro. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb mini galaxy = installs and runs to main game menu then crashes. bottles = installs and runs to main game menu then crashes.

Pumpkin Jack mini galaxy = installs but fails to run. bottles = installs but fails to run.

Shadowman remastered mini galaxy = installs but fails to run. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic mini galaxy = installs and runs fine but what looks like forced 16-bit colour depth. Bottles = installs and runs fine.

Soldier of Fortune 2 mini galaxy = installs but fails to run. bottles = installs and runs but hangs on intro.

Tron 2.0 mini galaxy = installs and runs but hangs on intro. bottles = install and runs fine.

Nox mini galaxy = wine fails to extract error. bottles = installs and runs fine.

Valfaris mini galaxy = installs and runs fine but glitches on intro, space bar skips. bottles = installs and runs fine but glitches on intro, space bar skips.

Hi @Quarall, thanks for this report. This is really useful! I don't think bottles are the solution, but it shows another issue with the installation method used in Minigalaxy. Do you have innoextract installed?
