Strange, I never ran into that problem myself using master.

I use Steam/non-Steam, gog, etc... all without problems.

Can you show an example where the current master fails?

I downloaded the master and added this code in Steam.js/getNonSteamGames() at line 151
log.info("\n---Name : "+ item.appName);
log.info("appId from shortcuts.vdf: "+ item.appid);
log.info("appId with bitwise unsigned 32bit: "+ (item.appid >>> 0));
log.info("Generated OldAppId : "+ this.generateAppId(exe, appName));
log.info("Generated NewAppID : "+ this.generateNewAppId(exe, appName));

Result :
generateNewAppId() is the actual function used by SteamGridDB Manager and it's working only for games imported by SteamGridDB

If I set my image with SteamGridDB it doesn't update in Steam and if I set manually it generates a file with appid from shortcuts.vdf that isn't corresponding to generateNewAppId() result

You are correct, generateNewAppId fails for manually added non-steam games. The question remains: why?

As I said here : SteamGridDB#130, SteamGridDB don't update assets for non-steam games added manually (non imported by SteamGridDB).

After researches I found that Steam generate an random individual ID for every non-steam game manually added and it doesn't correspond to the function generateNewAppId used here,

It results that SteamGridDB update images with the wrong ID's

My commit set the value of appid with generateNewAppID only if there's no existing appid so it works with imported and manually added non-steam games.

I think Steam generate a random id for every new non-steam game imported.

Example with the exact same executable, it generates each time a different.
