Research direction

Start by reproducing both Beta 12 cases: decompressing a non-Steam game in the "XboxGames" folder and adding an already-compressed folder to the compression queue. Done means non-Steam folders can be decompressed and the queue no longer crashes for an already-compressed folder.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

in Beta 12, it seems that you arent able to decompress non steam files tried it with Games in the "XboxGames"-Folder.
Additionally, adding an already compressed folder to the compression queue causes the program to crash immediately.
