Unbury Settings > Tools > Remote Disk Streaming > Browse Games #16227

Open bengalih opened 2 years ago

bengalih commented 2 years ago

What should happen

On the main screen next to the Browse and other buttons include a direct option to get to "Settings > Tools > Remote Disk Streaming > Browse Games".

It is very cumbersome to switch between local games and games on a streaming server.

Having a shortcut directly here could help. It is possible to pin the local and remote folder, but it is messier this way.

Also, implementing my request: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/16226 might mean this isn't as important, but it is still more intuitive for the average user.

Who would this benefit

anyone loading games from network and local

Platform (if relevant)

Android

Games this would be useful in

ALL

Other emulators or software with a similar feature

Me want as well.

Agree that it's way too buried. Need to think about what design would make sense here. Plenty of stuff that needs moving around, really.

I think putting a network icon next to the Home icon and Browse button on the Games tab that goes direct to Remote > Browse would work.

In fact, I would probably change the "Browse..." just to it's folder icon (take out the text) and then add another icon for network. Doing this you probably actually declutter the existing UX more.

I've just been seeing a lot of inconsistency with having my network and local folders pinned, you never know which one is going to open up when you go back to it and sometimes it says it is in the right folder but it doesn't show any games.

I wanted to file a bug against this, but I don't exactly know how to phrase it and can't always recreate.

I did just take a video though you can take a look here, I've added the comments of the issue in the video description: https://youtu.be/p5l8lbEpEQw Let me know if we should file a bug at all on this as well.
