Tell us the problem or your need
During disk cleanup, I completely removed Doom and No Man's Sky, but these programs are still shown as available in Bottles. I can even click Play, but the launch fails without displaying any error message.
Describe the solution you'd like
I think there are several possible improvements to this situation:
- Add a warning icon next to a program when its executable file is missing
- Display a clear error message when Bottles fails to launch an application almost immediately
- Remove or hide entries that point to missing executable files
Other solutions?
