denzw13 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hi all, Just wondering if it's likely we'll ever see a Origin, GOG, uPlay, etc. Import feature in future? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm sure it could be added in the future if it gets requested enough. I edited your post because it was your first post and linking to another frontend, it comes off as a veiled promotion / spam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denzw13 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks for the response and thanks for editing my post, it was certainly not my intention to promote another front-end, because... we already know launchbox is the best around, right? It'd be a really good feature to get added to automate the process of adding other DRM/client games into Launchbox. In scenarios where someone has a living room PC running Bigbox for example, having to manually add games can take a while and require ongoing maintenance to add any newly purchased games. Having the libraries of uPlay, Origin, etc linked would hopefully eliminate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yeah I think it would be a worthwhile feature to add, maybe it will be on the next poll. Personally though I don't care one way or the other since I don't import my games that way, I put shortcuts for all my games in a folder and just bulk import them like any other platform. Yeah it takes a few minutes to manage it at first and put the shortcuts into a folder but it really isn't a big deal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The Windows importer should do a good job with it already, so long as shortcuts for the games are available in the Start menu. Otherwise, you can just drag a batch of shortcuts over as Monkus mentioned. I do plan to add other importers eventually, but considering that's it's already fairly easy, it hasn't been a high priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denzw13 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks both, the Windows import only work for installed games though doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawson Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 This would be an awesome feature. Is there an API for people to contribute plugins? I wrote an Oculus store importer for another front end which I'm sure could be ported? Could you also add Epic store to that list? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daskepeder Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I just wanna say that I'm also making an official request for import functions for all the mentioned platforms. I basicly only have a handful og games installed on my SSD and my 500/500 connection takes care of the rest. Some way to link up other Launchers like Origin, Uplay, Microsoft Store etc. for easy install. That would be quite lovely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibleedspeed Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes, it would be nice to add Origin and Uplay to the list of importers. Im new to launchbox and found it pretty confusing trying to add those games to launchbox since I do not install them to my C drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfSpeed Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Twitch would be awesome to have plus riot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZZ Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I know its a old topic but yes twitch would be great! But also itch.io and indiegala.com. They both offer installer download but having games listed would be great ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
