NonSteamScraper: version 1.5.2 released

NonSteamScraper has been released in version v1.5.2.

The tool does one-click artwork fetching (covers, hero images, logos) for your entire non-Steam game and app library from SteamGridDB.

This update is a safety release: the app should no longer lose or hide your artwork. Fixes include accidentally deleting another game’s artwork, the library being hidden after a rejected API key, and existing artwork being deleted when a download fails.

A safety release: the app no longer loses or hides your artwork.

  • Selecting a game could delete another game’s artwork when their IDs overlapped in number. Now only the selected game’s art clears.
  • When multiple SteamGridDB entries shared a name, the app could fetch the wrong artwork. The selection now persists accurately.
  • A rejected API key no longer hides your library. Invalid keys now fail safely without moving games to Hidden.
  • Failed downloads no longer delete existing artwork; replacements occur only after a successful download.
  • Re-fetch and Undo are disabled during active fetches to prevent conflicts.
  • Closing the window during a fetch now prompts for confirmation.
  • Each Steam account gets its own shortcuts.vdf backup before modifications.
  • Simultaneous file operations can no longer overwrite each other.
  • Also fixed: preview mismatches, animated artwork timing, and single-instance enforcement.
  • Performance: faster navigation and search in large libraries, lower CPU usage on the results screen.
