Hi,
I've been using Playnite for about a month now and loving it! Thanks to all the amazing developers.
One feature that I thought would be cool to have is the ability to display screenshots from the Steam Store (or elsewhere) above the game description. I have no idea how difficult this would be to implement. It seems non-trivial.
The Extra Metadata Loader extension already provides the ability to download videos and logo from various sources, so presumably it could be enhanced to download screenshots from Steam. Then I guess it's up to the theme developers to display this information somehow.
I attached before/after images of what I'm thinking of, roughly speaking.
The user would have control of the maximum number of images to download per game. The images could be stored in the Extra Metadata folders or cached (and flushed) to preserve space. The images would be expandable and scrollable just like they are on the Steam Store pages.
