Description
Problem description
Games from epic store have dedicated tall (art_square
) and wide (art_cover
) images, the library grid uses the tall image usually except the first game in the recently played section which is 2 spots wide and uses the wide (art_cover
) image (as per #2750).
Sideloaded games (Add Game without using a store) only select a tall image and use it for the wide image aswell, leading to a cropped image that looks worse than having the most recently played game be 1 spot wide.


Feature description
- Use a separate wide cover image for sideloaded games. For example, "Add Game" could run 2 search queries on SteamGridDB, one for a tall image and one for a wide image, and show both to the user.
- Having a way to edit the game images after adding a sideloaded game would be useful (tying into 1: would allow users to change the wide image for existing games after this feature is added, without editing json files manually).
- Since the sideloaded game image search uses SteamGridDB, would be neat to be able to click on the result image to view all results from the query and choose another one (first result is not always the best); of course can do it manually in browser, but having it in the launcher would be nice.
Alternatives
No response
Additional information
As a workaround for 1, one can edit the ~/.config/heroic/sideload_apps/library.json
file to change the art_cover
image to a wide one.
