Note: You must have Proton Tricks installed for this script to work.

Proton prefix folders are, to many, a complete enigma. Would it be nice to know that the compatdata folder 23423345 really meant "Battle.net" or folder 1232324 was really the EA App launcher?

This quick and easy script will auto-generate clean, easy to use symlinks to your proton folders as revealed by Proton Tricks. It will keep them up to date ever 15 minutes and even remove ones that are no longer in use.

A useful tool for a frustrating task. Note: this won't clean them up for you, but will help you figure out what you need to clean up. See my video:
