Feature Request:
I would like an "open prefix" button added to the game properties under the local files tab
A "reset prefix" button would be useful too

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 would like an "open prefix" button added to the game properties under the local files tab
A "reset prefix" button would be useful too

Justification [optional]

I posted this in steam suggestions but it got buried.

Currently if you want to open the games prefix folder, you also have to find the games steam ID by opening a web browser and looking at the store page URL. The compdata folder is also hard for new Linux users to find

Risks [optional]

new users could accidentally delete the prefix folder and loose their save games

References [optional]

Hello @regulator-g, this is a feature request for the Steam client, not Proton itself, and is already being tracked at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5667. Closing as a duplicate.
