[Feature Request] Add an option to access compatdata/prefix folders for games with proton
It's a bit tedious going through the files and trying to remember the game ID for the files you want, it would be a handy option as it stores save-files and other such things depending on the game that needs accessing.

a link/button called Prefix on the game's Installed Files page, right under the one for the game install folder, would definitely be a welcome thing.

For real, I see a bunch of people asking how to find it, so it would be very handy

The only issue I see in this would be that usually the prefix is set to the steamapps/ directory under which the game files are installed... not a problem if you only have one location, problem for us that have multiple add-on drives, or the SteamDeck, that can use SD Cards...

Forgot to mention that if you installe originally a game onto the external storage and move it to the internal storage (SteamDeck), the behaviour is to keep the prefix onto the external storage, happened to.me as well on my main rig.

Interesting, didn't consider that as an issue as it updates "browse local files", but it could be worked around I reckon, but since local files browser opens on any drive you have it should work fine, would be even easier to develop if it's not movable at all outside of manually doing such
