I usually manually install my games. I decided to try the app to simplify things. After installing and changing the install directory to point to where my games are installed I scanned the folder so it could find my games. The itch app said the folder was empty. I have 50+ games in that folder so I have no idea why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently the devs have stated manually and 3'rd party installed games won't be detected.

Oh, well. Didn't really want another game client anyway. More bloatware uninstalled.
