Add All Subscribed Workshop Addons to Collection

[katkosmos]

Basically, a button while making or editing a collection, that allows you to add all the subscribed workshop addons for the game (e.g. Garry's Mod) to the collection. For instance, I have 400+ addons installed for Garry's Mod, and going through all of them and adding them manually is a huge pain in the butt. Some people have 1,000+ addons, so for them, it's even worse.

I don't know why virtually all of the threads about this particular feature have NO responses whatsoever.

Steam, please, this feature is sorely needed. For the love of all that is decent, PLEASE ADD THIS SIMPLE FEATURE.

yes PLEASE ADD THIS. i have over 1k mods and want to play with friends but it would take too long to send the links to every single one

[pidginnn]

Another basic feature steam is missing.... got to be one of the most unintuitive services I've ever used.

I think that I have created a simpler method:

So, 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲𝗿, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽, go to your game's workshop -> Browse -> Collections -> Create collection. Fill all that required crap. Now you should be on 'Add / Edit Child Items' screen. Go to 'Subscribed items' tab, open your developer console (f12) and paste this code:

(function() {
  let items = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.itemChoice:not(.inCollection)'));
  let form = document.getElementById('AddChildItemForm')
  let promises = []

  items.forEach(item => {
    let id = item.id.replace('choice_MySubscribedItems_', '').replace('choice_MyItems_', ''),
      data
    form.querySelector('[name="childid"]').value = id
    data = new FormData(form)

    console.log('sending ' + id)
    promises.push(fetch('https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/addchild', {
        method: 'POST',
        body: data
      }).then(() => { console.log(id + ' ok') })
      .catch(() => { console.log(id + ' FAILED____________________') })
    )
  })

  Promise.all(promises).then(() => {
    console.log('%c ALL FINISHED OK! Reloading in 5 seconds.', 'background: #000; color: #1aff00;')
    setTimeout(() => {
      location.reload()
    }, 5000)
  }).catch(res => {
    console.log('%c ERROR! Details below:', 'background: #000; color: #ff4400;')
    console.log(res)
  })
})()

This code will iterate through all the items available and send a call to Steam API to add each one of them to the collection. Wait until you start (and finish) seeing messages like '1234567 ok'. It might take a moment, I think steam has some throttling mechanism for those requests. After it finishes you should get a message on black background 'ALL FINISHED OK! Reloading in 5 seconds' - after which it should reload the window and you can see if it really went ok. Then just publish the collection. Now you have all your items in one place.
