Use URL browser protocol to create desktop shortucts #814
Comments
Update, it should be doable without elevated rights. |
If this gets implemented, you could add install and uninstall actions too: Currently my non-Steam shortcuts plugin is too much of a hack to do this, but someone asked if it could run installers too: bburky/playnite-non-steam-shortcuts#1. A URL scheme for installation would help I think. |
Should be done after #1133 is finished. |
Done in devel7 branch (future Playnite 7). |
Desktop shortcuts created from Playnite currently start game by starting Playnite executable directly, which has a side effect described in #354. Using browser protocol to start the game (support for something like
playnite://start/12321
) would probably fix this (but it needs to be tested).More investigation is needed if it's really worth the effort. Also I'm not sure if registering
playnite://
requires elevated rights, which would be a problem.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
