“IndexError: list index out of range” when trying to run in silent mode

[cudail]

Hey! This tool seems really cool. The inconsistencies in game naming on Steam and ALLCAPS™ GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION titles is a constant if mild annoyance.

And it seems to work fine, but I was trying to set up a script and .desktop file to call it in silent mode before starting Steam and discovered that it fails to launch for me in silent mode. I can start steammetadataeditor from the command line just fine but steammetadataeditor -s or steammetadataeditor --silent results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using Manjaro with KDE Plasma desktop 6.1.5 and installed steam-metadata-editor-git via AUR.

Ah I just realised that there is already a pull request open to address this #55 (and applying the change from it to main_window.py manually myself does seem to solve the error. I will close this issue!
