Steam names your prefix folders after AppIDs — so instead of \"Starfield\" you get \"1091500\". PrefixHQ turns that pile of numbers into a proper library with cover art, game names, and a clear indication of which prefixes are still attached to an installed game and which are just taking up space --- Features + Visual library — cover art fetched from Steam and cached locally, so subsequent launches are instant + Multi-library support — parses libraryfolders.vdf to find all your Steam libraries automatically, including secondary drives and external SSDs. Cross-library matching works even when game files and prefix live in different locations + Orphan detection — green means the game is installed, red means the prefix is stale and can be cleaned up + Works with native Steam, Flatpak, and Snap out of the box + Safe deletion — confirmation dialogs before anything gets removed. Deleting a prefix is permanent (saves, configs, mods — all gone), so PrefixHQ makes sure you mean it + Right-click menu to copy the prefix ID, load custom cover art (from file, URL, or SteamGridDB), or manually override the install status --- Requirements - Linux - Python 3.8+ (If you run directly the .py file) - PyQt6 = 6.4.0 , requests = 2.28.0 , Markdown =3.3.0 --- Installation Binary (recommended): grab the latest release from the Releases page From source: --- How it works On launch, PrefixHQ scans your Steam installations and reads library","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/Nastas95","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/Nastas95/PrefixHQ/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
