Basically I was looking for another way to find the appID, I'm using python in my script now but thought I'd try STL version of it, but the game isn't found (because it's not in the $GEMETA)

This isn't a bug, this is a feature request with now list games works. It is intended to list Steam games. There will be a separate argument to the command to list Non-Steam Games.

This is already noted in #960, so I will close this issue as the feature request is already being tracked. I want this feature so I'm not shutting you down, it's just already being tracked in another issue.

Also in future, please attach logs as files 🙂

On a technical note for the implementation, Non-Steam Games are read from shortcuts.vdf, but the list command doesn't have any awareness of this. We do have functions that would facilitate this, but I recall a little bit of complexity with implementing it due to the way the list command generates the games list, so it would likely have to be a separate path entirely.

It's feasible, we already have the functions in place that can give us all this information internally, care just needs to be taken with integrating it into the list command.

Actually,

Basically I was looking for another way to find the appID

steamtinkerlaunch gi <AppName> should support Non-Steam Games? I have used this as of a couple weeks ago and it worked fine for my Non-Steam Games (#963).

[trentondyck]

Maybe it's the space or something doesn't seem to work for me. I can wait for #960 to list/test again.

[sonic2kk]

#963 was merged some time ago. If you're using a space, make sure you use quotes, just like for Steam games.

Fwiw I just tested again and all of my Non-Steam Games and one newly added one is working with steamtinkerlaunch gi. Some were added by STL, the newly added one was added from the Steam Client. Sample screenshot:
