Install/uninstall Steam games from Bigbox

[Kefka2b]

Within the game details view, I am looking to automatically say "install" instead of "play" when a game is not installed. And to have an extra "Uninstall" option when a game is installed.

Launchbox has those options but not Bigbox? Even the default theme doesn't have those options as far as I can tell. Am I missing something obvious here?

Believe it was intentionally removed from Big Box because many of the processes used in LB to do that require leaving the app and potentially using a mouse. The experience in BB could leave many users in a state they couldn't get out of and back into BB with just their arcade controls and so it wasn't put in.

Oh ok thanks @C-Beats, that's a shame though, I hope someday a working way to do this will be added back as it's something missing for my use case (basically only using Bigbox for everything and never having to use anything else for my dedicated gaming OS).
