Sorry, something went wrong.
1. Allow users to pick games dircetory from external storage. 2. Better UX experince to distinguish between selecting a directory or a game. The later is needed when we implement change disk for android.

This PR & PR#6270 will make introducing the change disc feature for the Android client easier. Should be my next thing to do.
