Importing libraries from other game clients (Origin, Twitch, GOG, etc.)

Issue #4418 resolved

First off, big fan of LaunchBox. I love how I can consolidate and start all of my PC games and ROMs all in one place, it's so convenient; however, I do have a feature request/enhancement suggestion: importing games from other game clients.

I know that you can already do this either through the Windows Games Import Wizard or manually adding the game's .exe, but I was thinking of something like the Steam Wizard. With Steam, you don't even have to install the games in order for them to be added to your collection; you can just add your account, and LaunchBox detects all the games attached to it and adds them in. Then, when you want to play any of them, even if it's not installed yet, you can just launch it through LaunchBox and it either launches or installs the game through the Steam client. I love this feature because I like to have my entire collection on hand and viewable through LaunchBox without the need to install everything first.

Is it possible to do this with other game clients like Origin, Twitch, Blizzard, GOG, etc.? If so, this is my request! Because I have tons of games on those clients that I want to add and launch from LaunchBox just like Steam games, but find that I can only add them by installing it first. That's very inconvenient and I don't exactly have a lot of storage space >_< Thanks for listening and making such a cool program!

(P.S. Here are the clients that I personally would love to see integrated: Origin, Twitch, GOG, Blizzard, Epic Games, Uplay)

    it would be great, finally a unique launcher to have all the games well organized even if not installed.

    10.11 introduced improvements to Steam and GOG integrations. Can now import all games in your Steam and GOG library regardless of install status. LaunchBox also keeps track of whether you have the game installed or not.

    Now that they’ve added importing for most of those, the only ones I need are twitch and Big Fish Games.

    Would also be great to have an option which updates ALL these sources at once rather than stepping through each platform and adding
