"skip when open" exclusion doesn't seem to work with Steam
Sun, 2018-03-18 01:00 — timeout
I've configured a "skip when open" exclusion rule for Steam, but it doesn't seem to be respected -- breaks still reliably pop up in the middle of playing a game.
I would guess that the Steam app is just a launcher for the game; the actual game is a separate process, that doesn't show up as a Mac app.
I want to extend the exclusions feature to recognize such processes, but I'm not sure the APIs available in a sandboxed app (i.e. the Mac App Store edition) support that.
If you want to help confirm this, start a game then Cmd-Tab out, and run Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities) and find the game there, and show me what you see. Probably best to do that via email.
