🔗 Add your Windows Store or UWP games to Steam
Hello there! I'm refactoring the project a bit in the coming days, in order to both improve the reliability of the project, since it has been quite a few long years since i created it, and while it does work, it does not represent the quality of the code i'm able to produce these days and to make it easier to extend the project with better functionality. So this is a small preparation for the probable V3 of the project, it may take a while, but it will be worth it. I'll be closing most most PR's while i refactor the code and add tests to guarantee the quality of the project.

I never thought we would get so many contributions 🥲
We have a fix to a critical bug that was bothering some users for some time, as described in #72
And thanks to the contributions of @EnumC, we have a few features
The app will no longer create duplicated entries, will update existing shortcuts if trying to export an identical app
Properly handle error responses from SteamGridDB and display a nice message before exiting
Properly fit the SteamGridDB key in the settings page
(Only for devs/contributions) A debug option to clean shortcuts during development
When UWPHook as re-serializing pre-existing shortcuts, it changed some properties read by Steam, changing the value of the appid Steam uses to track the link between games and the custom grid artwork, this update will no longer tamper with these shortcuts and will keep your library tidy and clean 😄
Also, since some people reported that some anti-viruses are mistakenly reporting the attached zip as "malware", i'll be naming the zipped version of releases as UWPHook.zip
from now on, since Release.zip
seems to be used by some malwares, causing this false-positive.

Hey guys!
Thanks to the contributions of @Camology we have a very important bug fix this patch:
This should fix the problems that some people have when trying to export Yakuza games and some others to Steam. Since i can't reproduce the problem, i'm looking forward for some feedback. Additionally, you can download new .net framework versions here at Microsoft

Hey guys!
In version 2.9 i bring to you two features and a bug fix to an overlook i had in the last release
UWPHook can now send additional launch options to apps, just add the options needed to the end of the launch options box in the settings of the game inside Steam, like you would normally do to any other game, the options will be read and given to the respective app upon launch, confirmed working with Endless Space 2 and --enablemoddingtools, not working with Tetris Effect and --vr
In addition, 2.9.1 fixes a bug reported by a few users on our subreddit:

Added a "Export with these tags" to the settings page, which will attempt to add tags to newly exported games, by default "Xbox,Ready to play", it works sometimes, the new 'collections' in the library seems to not always use these
Fixed a crash reported by some users on our subreddit
Example of an additional launch option added to Endless Space 2:
