Add non-Steam titles to Steam automatically and retrieve their artwork from SteamGridDB.
About SyncNon-SteamGames
SyncNon-SteamGames is a utility that automatically adds non-Steam games to a user's Steam library, pulling matching artwork from SteamGridDB. It scans specified game installation directories, generates unique AppIDs for non-Steam entries, fetches grid, hero, and logo images, adds new shortcuts, and removes outdated shortcuts for uninstalled games that were originally added by the tool. It supports both GUI and CLI operation, multi-folder game libraries, and stores user configuration in %APPDATA%\SyncNonSteamGames\parameters.json. A key limitation is that it selects game executables by file size, which may choose the incorrect executable, requiring users to adjust it manually in Steam.
