I do not know if it would work, but It would be pretty nice if origin and uplay could be supported :)

I've looked into implementing support for Origin in the past, but it doesn't seem very likely to happen. As far as I know there is no public API. Locally stored files that appear relevant are encrypted and I'd rather not mess with anything that might expose any sensitive information.

Blizzard App/Battle.net support is similar to Origin in that regard, but with two crucial differences: there are far fewer games and most of them can be installed for free. Hence why the support for Blizzard App/Battle.net uses hardcoded data that I had gathered rather than processing locally stored files and databases.

I would not be able to properly implement nor maintain support for Uplay as I do not have the client installed on my computer and I do not have an account. I do not see either of those things changing in the future.

For the moment you will have to make do with manually placing shortcuts to games from those platforms in the appropriate folder (i.e. \Lauhdutin\@Resources\Shortcuts).

Thank you for your answer.

I didnt know, that its possible to create own shortcuts. I have created them now for my origin / uplay games :)
