Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/215

recently added OpenRA to my drop server, and it comes with multiple games you can launch from it, but i would need to add each as its own game(essentially wasting space pr game as they all contain the same files) so a way to select multiple files for running the game would be great.

what i imagine is a similar thing to steam, where if the game can launch in multiple ways, you get a small popup allowing you to select what way to launch it, and set it as the default. this would save some space for certain things, and allow configuration programs to be ran as well for games that has them externally, with only a few things in the game menu.

I second this. There are a lot of remakes and bundles now that might rely on a launcher or have an executable for each item in the bundle, it'd be nice to be able to launch directly. Also, some games have a separate multiplayer or config application.

tried my first "vibe coding" experiment, and made a simple launcher in python. available here

very basic, but gets the job done for me until this(hopefully) gets implemented. if it does not, i might make a better version from scratch. but its a workaround for those who want it, and it's "good enough" for me.

If you're linking to another project, could you make sure the source is available? It seems like the actual code is missing in your repository.
