How to show only the installed games in library?

[levelworm]

Hi experts, as usually software companies decided to change UI for no benefit for the users.

Now I don't see a way to show only the installed games in the library, which is super annoying because I have 200+ games but only a few installed.

Is there an option for that? Thanks in advance!

Yep. At the top left on the library home page, there should be a button that looks like a play button. Clicking on it should make only games that are installed visible.

Unfortunately now you can't see your installed games by category :'(

To be fair, it says exactly what it does when you hover over it. Like all the symbols in the library.
But its very small and rather hidden, i give you that. Not very intuitive at first.

TBH a little play button like you would expect to find on a TV remote or a youtube video in no way connotates -- "show installed games". If anything it might reference PLAY a game, but who would ignore what is prolly a larger UI widget that spells out the word play.. With larger prominent elements advretising the PLAY function a very small duplicated symbol would pretty much be a garuntee to be totally ignored in comparison..

Hence who would really even stop to wait for and read a tooltip on it.. Its probably a great example of bad UI design in this whole thing..
