Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop/issues/255

Would it be possible to create an option in addition to the install field for the browser/client that solely downloads a selected version independend of OS without installation? I'm thinking about game versions that need manual tweaking after download or modded games.

I'm not sure what you mean, could you explain it again?

Sure, no problem.

The feature would just be the option to download a stored archive or folder "as it is", without attempting to install it automatically. Starting the game could then just open the associated folder.

What could this be useful for?
Heavily modded games, stored mod-collections or games with different executables or scripts that need manual handling.

We don't run anything if not configured, you can import it as a normal version and make the executable something like "explorer.exe {dir}" (not 100% sure if this would work)

Is this the default behaviour in drop? As in, you import a game version into drop. Then the client installs the game. This installation is just a copy of all the files from that version on the client OS. So if you wanted to have different versions with different mods installed in each version, that's possible already. Unless i'm missing something.

Can be solved by putting the file explorer in the launch commands. Feel free to re-open if this isn't satisfactory.
