…what are you talking about? The site hasn't been changed for nearly a month now, according to the git repository.

As the PR comments explain, the game list area already tells you to click there to set the directory where you want Dolphin to look for games, so the browse button was unnecessary. You can also configure extra directories to search from the configuration menu, so that button was only wasting space.

Oh, I see. I'm stupid. You were talking about the Browse button in Dolphin (not on the site), right? Yeah, Aleron explained it: the button is confusing and not useful since you can configure paths in the Paths tab of the config window.

Moved to General Discussion! This thread's location in "Site Feedback" likely lead to leolam's confusion.

What they said. I made the change. See, we have a lot of redundancy in that regard. UI clutter is bad. There are still two ways of adding directories, one of those ways still accessible through literally the main window, no menus. The other is through config.

I understand that you don't like it because it's different, but letting UI clutter just sit there is never a good idea.
