Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/234

Some games have an installer and will install into a different directory (other than the Drop expected "Install directory"). Currently, the Command/Executable path is locked to (install dir), while pre-filling is a good idea, it is helpful to be able to overwrite this path with an absolute path for various situations.

Sorry for the late reply.

It isn't actually tied to the install directory, you can provide it with any command or executable and it'll run it, even with an absolute path. It just starts the command you provided in the install directory.

If you need further explanation, let me know.
