I wrongly set this up thinking it'd allow me to change the App state folder without going intothe config. Please make this an option, I'd love a GUI that allows you to change what folder each user is usin

I'm running into the exact same need. I use the app_state_folder to share a single Steam installation across multiple personal devices, which is a great feature of Wolf. However, managing this by editing the config.toml and restarting the Wolf container is problematic. When Wolf restarts, WolfManager loses write access to the recreated socket, resulting in EACCES errors when trying to manage clients. A UI option to change this folder would be the ideal solution, as it would avoid these permission issues.

I fixed this by switching to WolfUI but before that I was using the API socket and a socat side container to use the api and change the folder. I can share my script if your interested. Throw me a message! Here or on discord. Marashi

@zeedif testing the changes from your PR I'm getting an error when attempting to saving the app state folder change.

Seems to think api endpoint is not valid
