Record recent launches only after the launcher reports success instead of
optimistically on every attempt. For desktop entries, wait for the
ApplicationLauncherJob result; for detached commands, use startDetached's
return value and show an inline error when startup fails.
Parse Steam libraryfolders and app manifests as KeyValues instead of
matching individual lines. This makes Steam discovery less brittle when
the files contain comments, nested blocks, or different formatting.
Keep Continue Playing visible alongside Running and show a temporary
launching state so the overlay does not pretend a task already exists.
Rename the GameMode status text to say what the shell actually knows.
Use SDL button labels so shell prompts match the connected
controller instead of always using Xbox-style wording. Expose
trigger rumble, touchpad count, gyro, and accelerometer support
through the gamepad wrapper and surface the relevant capability
labels in the overlay.
Enable background gamepad events and add short rumble feedback
for major shell actions such as opening quick settings, opening
the exit prompt, and launching a game.
Add PowerProfileControl and GameModeControl singletons and wire
them into gaming mode lifecycle handling. When gaming mode turns
on, keep DND on, switch to the performance profile when available,
and request GameMode. Restore previous state when gaming mode
turns off.
Add an overlayEnabled property in GameLauncherProvider so the
launcher can toggle MangoHud environment variables from QML.
Slide-out panel with brightness, volume, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and airplane mode. Fully gamepad-navigable; D-pad and stick
input routed to the panel while open. System status bar
(clock, battery, connectivity) added to game center header.
Lutris games discovered from ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db,
Heroic from ~/.config/heroic/store_cache/ JSON files.
Deduplication extended to cover all launcher sources.
Desktop entries launched via KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob to
expand Exec field codes. Generic commands parsed with
KShell::splitArgs. SQLite uses RAII cleanup guard.
Clamped SDL axis, rumble, and LED values. Renamed rumble
params from frequency to intensity. GamepadManager uses
singleton factory. setPlayerIndex checks SDL return.
FavouritesBar popup uses screen virtualX/Y for multi-monitor.
Both launch() and launchByStorageId() duplicated the process
spawn, signal emission, and timestamp bookkeeping. Move it to
a single private launchEntry(GameEntry&) method.
When a game appears as both a Steam manifest and an XDG
desktop entry, drop the desktop duplicate. Steam entries are
preferred because they carry cover artwork and route through
the Steam launcher for Proton compatibility.
Expose SDL_GamepadAxis as an Axis enum in GamepadManager so
QML can identify axis events by name.
Convert left-stick deflection into repeated grid navigation
events with a 150ms interval and 0.4 deadzone. First movement
fires immediately when the stick crosses the threshold.
Wrap game launches in a brief fade-to-black curtain (250ms)
before dismissing the overlay, giving visual feedback that the
launch is in progress.
Grid tiles now show Steam library artwork when available,
falling back to icon+label for games without cover art.
Cell proportions adjusted to 2:3 for portrait covers.
Search bar filters the library by name. Source tabs filter
by All/Steam/Desktop. Both properties live in C++ so QML
just binds filterString and sourceFilter.
"Continue Playing" row shows the last 5 launched games
with artwork, persisted across sessions via plasmamobilerc.
Remove orphaned GameTile.qml (replaced by inline delegate).
SDL3-backed gamepad manager polls at 60Hz, handles hotplug,
exposes battery/rumble/LED per device. Game launcher aggregates
XDG desktop entries, Steam appmanifests, and Flatpak into a
single sorted model.
Game Center uses the new model instead of folio's search model.
D-pad/A/B/Y navigate and launch. Guide button toggles the
overlay. Battery and controller status shown in the HUD.
