GFN-to-App 📝

Creates app bundles from Geforce Now game shortcuts. uses the game's id extracted from the shortcut and passing it as an argument to the geforce now app located in /Applications/GeForceNOW.app

This is so you can access the Game from launchpad or even Steam.

Usage

The Script runs Interactively and via CLI.

To run interactively simply execute the script

./gfn-to-app.sh.

If you get permissions error make sure the script is executable by running:

chmod u+x gfn-to-app.sh

As for running from CLI you can specify both or either of the inputs; otherwise, the shell will ask you to input them.

you can plase a single - to skip the prompt for the icon file to use the one made by the geforce shortcut automatically; However, using - in place of the game shortcut path will prompt the shell to ask for it. (the geforce game shortcut path can not be empty)

 ./gfn-to-app "path/to/shortcut/file.gfnpc" "path/to/icon.icns"

Examples

  ./gfn-to-app - -
  ./gfn-to-app "/Users/asamahy/Desktop/FrostPunk on GeForce NOW.gfnpc" -
  ./gfn-to-app "/Users/asamahy/Desktop/FrostPunk on GeForce NOW.gfnpc" "icon.icns"
  ./gfn-to-app - "icon.icns"

For Debugging

you can set a third - to see simple steps and a forth argument d will debug the whole script.

To Do

• Use getopt instead.
• Search for icons in a directory
• Find another method of getting the image from the resource fork instead of relying on resource_dasm
• add other todos to the To Do list.
