@Tormak9970 @TrainDoctor i think im ready now, sorry for all the mistakes before. this one is ready, just tested on stable and is working.
@SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-testers looking for users to evaluate this plugin. Thanks.
@TrainDoctor hey train I have some big changes coming for this plugin in the next week or so, currently working on it as we speak. Just wanted to share.

Do you think it's better to get those changes evaluated as a part of this PR or to get a known working version tested and out to users?
@TrainDoctor have no idea. Currently this pr works though! Didn't know what you meant by telling other users to test. I thought maybe you were going to delete the pr lol my bad brother

PRs never get deleted just closed, but understandable. Not to worry for you.
@TrainDoctor hey train i had some weird conflicts but i believe i have fixed them... i was attempting to also update my pull request to the latest version with all the new changes but im not sure if my changes reflected that? if so i believe it is ready to go to testing!

You were close but I pushed an update that should sort it now.
@TrainDoctor 😓 the push to update the submodule didn't go through I guess, it's showing the same version. Now that you fixed it though, I'll do another submodule plugin update.

Yeah so all you should need to do is update your main branch and the PR should pull that in automatically. I would recommend making a branch that's dedicated for updates to the Decky Store and pin your submodule to that so you can update your main branch independently and then merge changes into the store/store-submission branch (etc) whenever you make PRs like this. I don't know if this would be directly helpful to your situation though.
@TrainDoctor gotcha ok yeah i didnt even know i could do that, so everytime i push updates my plugin, the Pull Request will automatically grab that!? thats really cool, currently though, im not sure if its getting my most recent branch i guess? the one in the testing store now isnt the right one, i checked my package.json and they are all bumped to 1.0 in my plugin repo. so i think im missing something here haha

It looks like you need to update the submodule within your fork of the plugin database from a quick glance. If you keep the submodule up to date in your plugin database fork then I'm guessing the plugin will showing the updated files you're expecting.
@TrainDoctor gotcha bro, ok, i believe i updated that correctly now....haha thanks for being patient with me brother. i hope it builds!
@TrainDoctor hey train could you approve this build to the testing store, if it it doesn't bump the build number, i may need some help to see whats going on, i believe the sub-module was updated on this hash "a479145"
Just in case you haven't, could you join on our discord to test other devs that are also waiting for testing their plugins in order to see if you can help each other out? We are quite in the need for testers rn. Thanks in any case!
@RodoMa92 could you approve the latest? we believe the plugin itself would be ready for main.
@TrainDoctor @RodoMa92 ready to merge to main with the latest build if possible
@TrainDoctor @RodoMa92 @Tormak9970 @PartyWumpus I don't know who's part of the core team so I don't know who else to tag @AAGaming00 I'm sorry for arguing with you guys in their but it's been a long wait. https://youtu.be/Qb4A9Wkd200?si=7ZRCwmj-kHHMoF4P
Works great, look forward to the normies getting a hand on this
Same. This is brilliant and so easy to install now with decky.
It's a must have for sure!
Noticed there is a decky version of this software and tried it instantly and it looks beautiful! I had to change my decky store to the preview test branch thing though, even though it seems to be working just fine! Am I missing something?:o

I think we are all waiting for all of the Decky team to allow it or something for it to exit beta.
@AAGaming00 ok but why is everyone messaging me about this? I'm confused why decky is allowed to do it but I can't?
"Open the Return to Gaming Mode shortcut on your desktop.
There is also a fast install for those who can use Konsole. Run curl -L https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/releases/latest/download/install_release.sh | sh and type your password when prompted." This on the github.... and I've used a .desktop file for NonSteamLaunchers since the beginning... I get it, but I'm just confused
Decky has to obviously download itself to install, how else could it work?
Plugins are required to go through our review and downloading code bypasses said review. If you need external files, vendor them or use the remote_download feature
To be clear, the issue isn't that you're specifically using curl | bash, it's that you're downloading and executing code we can't audit
@AAGaming00 even if the code itself is public? And on a github? Used by thousands of people? I mean isn't it kind of obvious that there is nothing wrong with the code it's downloading? Again, don't get me wrong, I'm open to changing things I'm just trying to wrap my head around everything.
Yes, because you could change that code remotely at any time and we wouldn't be able to stop it from executing on users' consoles.
If you need to download external code, use the remote_download (remote_binary? I forget the name.) feature, it checks that the downloaded code matches a static hash before allowing the plugin installation to continue.
@AAGaming00 you're going to have to teach me how I go about doing that then, I've never heard of that before
