Both start menu & desktop (have an app-wide setting for those who don't like desktop shortcuts).

Shortcuts should be to itchio:// URLs so we get a chance to do update checking, request+pass API keys, choose launch target, etc.

Later in the game, there could be one shortcut per launch target (with additional URL components) but that's not required for the initial feature.

Is this happening? Has it happened?

Still hasn't quite happened, but is still happening.

Any progress? I'd love to see this.

Followed a bunch of issues and ended up here.

It's a shame development of features like this has stalled.

Anyway, trying to DIY: if I create a shortcut myself it seems to be running with different settings? Progress for the game I'm playing is different to when I launch it through itch app.

I wish this would be implemented quickly. I installed Godot through itchio app, so that I get the automatic updates. Because the executable name changes from version to version, I am unable to manually set up the shortcut, as it would break on every update. So I am stuck to open it through the app.
