Description

When installing an update for a game, you're prompted to select the path for the game. When you have a lot of games spanned across different paths (configured under Settings -> Paths -> Game Folders), it's hard to keep track of which game is under which path and you may end up accidentally clicking the wrong path to install the update to.

Remembering where each game is installed to, or at least scanning each 'Game Folder' for the matching CUSA app directory when installing an update (which COULD allow for some very needed automation, no idea why you're even prompted a choice to install an update to a different path in the first place), would avoid any problems that would arise when it comes to keeping games up to date, especially if 'Enable Separate Update Folder' is turned off.

Reason

Remembering the path for a game or automating update installation by scanning for the matching title will help save time, confusion, and potential file corruption when someone as clumsy as I tries to fix issues spanning several directories when each one is called CUSA. What a headache!
