Description

On wine with thcrap_configure_v3 (and likely with the legacy configure as well), the recursive games search doesn't seem to work: there are reports of people needing to select each game's directory individually in order to have them appear in the games' list.

(note: I didn't try to reproduce it, I don't know if it happens every time for everyone or only for some users / in some conditions).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the recursive games search in thcrap_configure_v3 under Wine, checking whether the legacy configure behaves the same way. Confirm the conditions that cause recursive discovery to fail, then verify that games in nested directories appear without selecting each directory individually.
