Description

Add some sort of way, either directly in the window, or via a control of some sort for the player to view the installation folder of the game they are launching/patching and perhaps a way to open it in the system file explorer. For instance, I've completely forgotten where I've installed OpenLoco in the past.

Research direction

Start by locating the launcher window and the code that tracks the game's installation path. Add a visible way to view that folder and an option to open it in the system file explorer, then verify the behavior for games being launched or patched on Windows and Linux.
