Feature Request

QOL: Add button to "open proton C Drive" in compatability options

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found another request for this feature.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
    contain this feature already.

Description

I suggest adding a button in the "Compatabiity options" that links to the currently selected Proton version's C Drive. Just to make that process easier.

Justification [optional]

There are moments when troubleshooting where editing config or pref files in "AppData" or extracting very specific save file means that we need to go into the compatability layer's "C Drive" folder.

Because the compatability files are currently sorted into folders named after the app ID, it can take a lot of searching to find the correct folder.

This would be a great addition for people using non-standard hardware or making changes for streaming or testing things for mods

Risks [optional]

References [optional]

In case its at all useful. In this instance, I was lookingh for the preferances files for Dead Space 2 so i can try an make the audio stay on while im tabbed out.

I am on Fedora Linux 44, and the game is running without any issues because proton is amazing.
