UI nitpicks #198

Open ell1e opened 1 year ago

ell1e commented 1 year ago

Trying to use the Q4wine UI on the steam deck in desktop mode, I ran into a couple of things that made it sadly quite frustrating:

  1. The open program file dialog doesn't show hidden files by default and doesn't seem to have shortcut for the drive_c. It also doesn't open in the drive_c folder of the chosen prefix to start with (which maybe it should?). This makes it tedious with just touch input to go all the way to that location to find some recently installed wine application.

  2. The launch settings would be a lot easier to correct after a mistake if the launch dialog retained what was last entered at least as long as I don't quit Q4Wine fully. Sadly, it's blank every time it's reopened.

  3. It would be nice if proton wine prefixes of a local steam install were picked up and made available in the UI in some easy way to choose from. Even if it doesn't show the game name and just the steam app id number for each.

hi @ell1e

Thank you for the feedback.

Some screenshots would be nice. But I guess this is something to do with Steam Deck UI itself unless you are seeing Qt-native file dialog.

Steam Deck just uses KDE, so yes it's the Qt dialog.
