Feature Request - Guide field

[OneAngryGamer]

I would like to have a new field in Playnite named 'Guide'.


How this would work:

The field would be located below the 'Manual' field and would operate in exactly the same way (just clone the Manual field and rename to Guide). When you right click a game, it would appear as an option to open a local file - just the same as Manual works now.


Why would you want this?

Strategy Guides.

A number of publishers (Prima, BradyGames, Piggyback etc.) used to publish strategy guides for games. Some of these are available for purchase/download as a PDF.
(Titles for older games rarely have digital copies for purchase - they were only sold as hardcopy years ago - but you will find thousands of these have been scanned and uploaded to the net).

What else could you use this for? FAQs. If a game doesn't have a guide, you could always download a walkthrough from a site like GameFAQs and link to that.


Can you use an existing field instead?

Yes and no. You could use the Manual field but if you did that you couldn't link a manual and a strategy guide to the same game.

I would find this of use too. Currently, if the Manual field is in use I just add the guide to Actions, but it would be nice to keep them together in the menu.

For what it matters, you ought to post this on the GitHub rather than here.
