Research direction

Start by mapping the application launch system, including prep, detached, and normal commands, configuration flags, and their current relationships. Define what the proposed flowchart-like editor and Steam, Playnite, and Lutris import/export should cover, then confirm that the launch flow and integrations are represented consistently.

Description

The Application system for launching is becoming very difficult to understand (prep/detatched/normal commands, configuration flags and such).

Idea from @TheElixZammuto

A flowchart-like editor (think zapier/n8n) to define the order of commands for an app. Some other features can be templates and import/export directly from Steam, Playnite and Lutris
