Let us add games by executable / command

FFXV is on the site but when I select the steam folder ".../steamapps/common/Final Fantasy XV" or just "../steamapps/common" for "Manuallly add a game" the app completely ignores the "manual" part and just scans the folder instead of what it should be doing and asking for the specific executable or command.


I'm on manjaro so I can only use the AUR package (which I'm sure is not officially supported by curseforge so not gonna complain about bugs there) but it boggles my mind that the curseforge app does not support the easier option to implement than the scanning. If it needs a wizard to ask if the executable is a steam game and if it's running via proton then fine, add the wizard but let us select the executable for crying out loud.
