Beta v0.34

Release Notes:

  1. New Feature: Game Management (Advanced page) added! Now you can EDIT games in all categories with fields below. Note: Editing game title will also automatically apply the changes to Settings profile, SteamVR Optimization profile and also for the same game in Favorites category.
  • Title (name)
  • Game Type (game/application for future categorizing)
  • Thumbnail (any jpg/png file supported)
  • Runtime (only editable for custom Imported games, to prevent breaking functionality)

  1. New feature: Delete any game from any category with two clicks (confirm popup) in Game Management, just like profiles. Delete game means also the connected Settings profile + SteamVR profile also gets deleted. And the game is deleted from Favorites of course.

  2. New feature: Thumbnail Preview added in Game Management (Edit game) + New Import page where you import new custom games. After selecting thumbnail image (with fileBrowser), the thumbnail is seen in a preview just below the input field.

  3. Quick link button to/from from Game Management and Game-view added! Edit any game quicker without searching for it. Enter Game Management at any time directly from the game-page, by clicking on the button in top-right corner. And go back to game again by simply clicking on the green shortcut.

  4. Fix: Fixed an issue we’ve had since forever in Profiles list-view and now also in Game Management list-view when the entire list sometimes jumped/glitched for a millisecond after refreshing. This was caused by an improper use of content size fitter, which I found a solution for.

  5. Fix: A few fileBrowser issues fixed. Now it definitely should work as expected when browsing your PC for files.

  6. Fix: A few improvements and bug fixed with listings of profiles and games. Not completely bug-free yet, but getting better for every day! :slight_smile:
