I recently discovered Cartridges for Gnome. It's pretty dope. Although a little bit more graphical than rofi.

Yeah seems cool, just not my preference.
😊🫡 Happy to provide an alternative, even if rejected 😆
Oo, thanks! I hadn't heard of that one. I'll give it a look!
It's as simple as they come, I would say. Definitely deserving of a Gnome Circle status.
Although I don't understand why the game REMATCH fails to (automatically) apply a poster image to its tile. (Manual works fine.) There are images for it in that Steam image DB thing, so I dunno.
Otherwise working like a dream. Starts up in an instant.
I actually love this. Does it only work with steam or could it work with itch.io games?
Is there an itch.io launcher? Sorry not sure how that platform works. It works for Steam and a couple other launchers like Lutris, Bottles, Heroic and some Minecraft ones:
Edit: I see it does have a launcher, cool. I can look at adding support for it, assuming it has a reasonable way to find the games associated with it and launch them from a CLI like the other launchers do
I know that Playnite (currently Win only, but planned Linux support) has a plug-in to handle Itch, so it should be possible.
Thanks yeah. I'll need to look at it some more but I couldn't find a text file with any useful data - must be stored in binary somewhere
Looks great! If it could scrape icons for each app, and then make (and delete) corresponding .desktop files it'd be even better!
It provides paths for icons (and box art) for each game yeah - for those that have them anyway. Deleting .desktop files would be out of scope though.
Some of the scripts I made do use the box art if the picker supports them (like in the demo image above)
