Wow
Great job. Finally it works almost perfect. Using Win7/X64
Only things I noticed so far is that some status-messages aren’t set to the “now-playing”-Game. Another thing is when searching a game’s executable file the .exe files aren’t shown when only executable files are shown in the pidgin file browser. Not quite sure if that is a pidgin or a gfire issue. Showing all files works, so no problem
And one more thing. When removing the remains of uninstalled games which were added to the gfire profile windows gives an error that you don’t have the right to perform that action. Removing that game from the gfire profile and closing pidgin solves that problem. Maybe waiting till the gfire installed games list is updated is enough. If it is updated periodically? Reloading the game configuration doesn’t seem to do the trick?!
Anyways just wanted to say a big thank you! Finally I don’t have to use xfire anymore.

The wrong display of .exe files is a MIME type issue within Gfire.
We don’t access any of your games files. We just compare paths of running processes with the paths you entered for the game executables. So it shouldn’t be because of Gfire
