# steam-export

A small cross-platform program written in Go designed to ease the
process of exporting, import and copying of Steam games.

This applications specifically copies the `appmanifest` files into
the archives. This prevents you from needing Steam to "discover" or
"check" the files.

Steam only seems to scan libraries on startup, so any changes made to
your libraries is going to require you to restart steam.

This process also seems to be much faster, and more reliable than 
Steam's built in backup tool.

Running the web server should pull up a local GUI that will allow you to
download your games, delete them and install from remote URLs or local
file paths.

Latest binaries for windows and linux are available here:

`steam-export-web-windows-amd64.exe` is probably the one of interest to most
people.


TODO:

  * Progress bar / status metrics for installing and deleting games
  * Let people change the library path from the GUI
  * Compression support ( even if it's slower for most games )
  * Content-length header on downloads so we how how far along we are
