Sorry to dig up this thread, but with the new 1.2 update to GOG Galaxy, all of my non-GOG games that I added to Galaxy are now missing their custom graphics. Bear in mind that I don't actually use Taro94's app, I do the work manually. Still, our process is essentially the same, so I have to imagine games added with Taro94's app are being affected as well. Thank you in advance for any clarification!

I can confirm that's the case. I might get to updating the app to work properly with custom graphics again, but I can't say when I'll have the time for that.

It would be nice if you could do that ^^
I prepared all the graphics for MGS V just to find out that the new update broke the tool :/

Thanks for the clarification. Can you at least pinpoint what is causing the custom graphics to break?

Any updates you can share on this issue, Taro94? Thanks in advance!

Johny.: In one of the next releases your images could stop working (all icons + logo on retina).
Any chance you can tell me why my custom graphics for non-GOG games are no longer being displayed in Galaxy? Additionally, why does the "webcache" folder on my computer now contain folders/images for games I don't even own? Seems a weird thing to take up space on my HDD with.

It's caching the storefront, which contains all games sold on GOG.com. Much in the same way that Firefox or Chrome or any other web browser would cache the web content they access when browsing the storefront. So if you view the store pages in Galaxy, then it'll cache it. It's not caching what you own, but what you view.

Sure, why not - we have changed the image formats that we use internally. Also, we're not supporting adding non-GOG games to Galaxy in any way, I have only informed Taro94 that we'll be doing the change.

As skeletonbow mentioned - in-Galaxy browser caches (with a limit and algorithm for that) images to make everything load faster and not use your bandwidth too much. I'll do an extra check there.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have checked the image files and dimensions in official GOG-approved games and the files I have created for non-GOG games are the same. My "resources.json" file and my "goggame-XXXXXXXXXX.info" file are formatted identically as well. Yet, with the new Galaxy update, all of my custom images have vanished. Is there any advice you can give me on how to make them visible in Galaxy again?

I can appreciate that, but I am seeing folders for games I have never even looked at before. I'm all for reduced load times, but I think the current version of the algorithm might need to be reigned in a little bit.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice on that. There might have been more changes than image formats (~9 months ago) only.

I'm 99% sure you have seen them. Maybe your friends played it and you got a desktop notification about it, or clicked on it. Still - I'll try to revisit this topic later at work.

Is there no hope of adding custom graphics for non-GOG games in Galaxy anymore? :'(
Posted August 09, 2017
I'm afraid I don't have enough time at the moment to get back to Galaxy adder.
