Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop-app/issues/6

Unless I can't see it. There's no option to uninstall games. Also, I tried manually deleting the game install folder, now it just gives an error.

  • Add uninstall button
  • Better handling of missing game folders, potentially mark as uninstalled if no game install directory found.

Yeah, right now your only option is to delete drop.db at ~/.local/share/drop

Hey, I've just finished up the initial implementation. Could you please download the version for your platform from here: https://lab.deepcore.dev/drop-oss/drop-app/-/pipelines/448, and let me know if it works okay?

I've implemented both of your suggestions, so feel free to give it a test! I'll close the issue once you've confirmed.

Can confirm it is working quite well @DecDuck
As seen in the video below it removes the game files and changes the install/play button status confirming it edits the local db

(I was running an older build and i have since noticed you fixed the colouring consistency issue)

All good to close it now!

Can confirm, works under normal circumstances, but I just tried installing a game that uses the "Setup executable/command". The UI is showing "Setup" but no uninstall option.

I might have used the wrong path for the setup exe. but now I'll have to reset the app to get the game uninstalled.

I realised it should also be implemented for setup too, and added it in a later commit. If you download the artifact from here: https://lab.deepcore.dev/drop-oss/drop-app/-/pipelines/477, it will include that fix.
