Suggestion: Add ananicy-game-performance %command% functionality

[onlyreportingissues]

The idea is that it checks, if the launched game is added to the list & if not, it will use game-performance instead.

Or Ananicy checks if the game is on the list & if not, it will add it to the list & then adjust the nice levels?

It can be more like dev utility for people to make PRs. A ananicy-add-game script that lets u select the game from process list - add it to the rules - and maybe make a pr on github

Would be cool a way to enable ananicy like gamemode with a parameter like this, but instead you add the parameter like ananicy-game-rule ananicy-docview-rule and etc, and another one to submit the game to the list

I don't think this is possible with this project, this should be something implemented upstream on the ananicy-cpp

[buster-biopsys]

@NIICKTCHUNS That would be very cool. Maybe adding a --type docview/game? Something along those lines

Unless it implemented upstream, we could have something like that just as a devtool?:

ananicy-override --type game {process-name or /path/to/exec}

Internally it could work like that:

1. check if such process already have a rule inside /etc/ananicy.d/00-default/ , if so - change value here
2. if rule not found, add one to /etc/ananicy.d/00-default/temp-{process-name}.rules
3. reload ananicy
4. run {process-name} with updated rule (and maybe some additional monitoring inside CLI?)

It would be a bit of a hack, since it modifies package-provided files, so it's probably not something we'd want for general use.

However, as a development and testing utility, it could still be useful until a cleaner upstream solution exists.

If everyone is okay with the idea, I could try working on a prototype.

@roworu why bother with that? main problem with your solution is that it will be deleted after update. /etc/ananicy.d/ everything from this folder will be deleted during package update.
idk i don't see much of the use of that tool. if you know binary name you can just edit rule file with editor and restart ananicy-cpp.

idk i don't think implementing gamemode2 with less functionality and power profile switching ability is a good idea.

pr tool is out of question...

on the bright side project contain top ~9.5k steam games/apps(not counting games from other stores/sources). im actively monitoring top 5000 steam games by player count and adding them here when new things show up.

im also thinking publishing my ananicy-rules-"workbench" for contributors but it's not easy task for me.
(currently it's a mess... it needs simplification, more features and instruction/guide)
