Version 2.2.0

• Added support for tracking total amount of time played for most games. Will not work properly e.g. when the Battle.net client is opened instead of launching a game directly. Total time played is stored in games.json, which can be transferred from an older version to a newer version when updating. Supports Steam's time tracking, if a valid SteamID64 value is specified in the settings.
• Added support for processing Steam community profiles for additional information on games (e.g. hours played). Feature can be disabled by leaving the new SteamID64 setting blank.
• Added ability to show Steam games that are not installed. Games that are not installed are not shown by default, but they can be browsed via a context menu option or by filtering with installed:false. Filtering not-installed games further requires the + prefix. Clicking on a game that is not installed will start the normal installation process via Steam's browser protocol.
• Added context menu options for hiding and unhiding games. Toggle the corresponding option to start (un)hiding games and toggle the option again to stop. Hidden games are not shown by default, but they can be browsed via a context menu option or by filtering with hidden:true. Filtering hidden games further requires the + prefix.
• Added ability to filter out installed Steam games that the current Steam account does not have a license for. Requires that a non-blank and valid SteamID64 value is specified in the settings.
