Improvement

Currently

If you add/remove a game while the app is open, you must restart it to detect it.

We want

To refresh the list of detected games. If this can be automated with a lightweight check for changes on opening the game list or would require the user to click a button in the UI is potentially a design UX decision. @captainsandypants

Examples of cases where this would be useful:

  • I have installed the app and can see it supports a game I own but haven't installed, so I have installed it.
  • I have removed a game since opening the app and I should no longer be able to select it.
  • I have corrected an error in the installation of a game the app could not detect (usually on Linux!).

Can probably have a refresh button or something on the games page.
