Steam forgets recent activity after each BoilR import

[davidmartos96]

Describe the bug
When scanning with BoilR, Steam game entries are generated. Steam internally assigns an ID to these, equivalent to the game ID.
One problem I'm seeing is that every time I scan, Steam forgets the last time the game has been opened, making the "Sort by activity" option not as useful.

My guess is that BoilR just recreates these entries without reusing them if possible.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Steam Deck
• BoilR Version 1.9.4

BoilR uses those IDs, since they are also used to assign custom images. I think this happens because BoilR creates a new shortcut file each time, and while it maintains the ID, the ordering might not always be the same.
I have concidered doing a BoilR v2 where there is more control over which games are added and how, and not just a "create a new file each time", but I just havn't found the time yet.

I suggest we change this title to:
Steam forgets recent activity after each BoilR import

@PhilipK Thanks for the explanation. Is a v2 needed? What would be the use case of creating a new shortcut file always instead of reusing them if possible?

@davidmartos96 convenience, is the short answer. Long answer is that BoilR started out as just a "script" without a UI, now it has grown a lot and no-one uses the cli version really, so it makes sense to let users have more control.
