Steam Family Sharing support

My family uses Steam Family Sharing to set up multiple accounts so that each person in my family can share the games from my main account and keep our game saves separate. It appears that Launchbox doesn't support this feature, and any games launched automatically use the game saves from the main account. It would be really nice if it were possible to launch games from Launchbox and choose which Steam account to use so that all members of my family can use Launchbox.

In the forum thread linked below, it was brought up that a possible workaround would be to reimport the same Steam games using the other accounts' custom url. This is something I will check into, but I will have to figure out how to differentiate between which launcher is for which user. Plus, I can see how it would be beneficial for users to have easy access to this feature from within Launchbox without having to figure out a workaround.

Thank you.
