Description
Hello,
so i use Dolphin on Funtoo Linux amd64, and my ISO games are on an external drive. When i want to add a path to my ISO games folder, Dolphin adds the path : /home/my_user .
Thus the only way to add my games to Dolphin is to manually edit the ~/.dolphin-emu/Config/Dolphin.ini file by changing the value of this variable : GCMPath0
Once modified, i launch back Dolphin and the GUI displays my games list correctly.

I too experience this issue.
I think the version of wxWidgets in externals is the cause.
This affects all path selection dialogs.
e.g. File exporting destination.
- Priority changed from Low to Normal
Also not working with wxWidgets GTK 2.9.4.
OK, I no longer have this issue and I can't figure out why..
I worked around this issue on my system by deleting all paths in the list, re initializing the list to the location I want (or any location, not sure if this step is necessary), then manually changed the path in the ~/.dolphin-emu/Config/Dolphin.ini from "GCMPath0 = /home/" to "GCMPath0 = "
I added the the part about clearing the list and starting over because the first time I tried manually setting the directory in the config file didn't work, and adding another GCMPath1 didn't fix it either, When I cleared out all the paths from dolphin interface, started over, and returned to the config file and set the directory it loaded all the ISO's in the main window like intended.
I did this on 3.5-651 compiled on Linux Mint 14
Does this issue still exist in latest?
- Status changed from Accepted to Fixed
Should be fixed with the move to Qt if it wasn't already fixed. Please comment if it still doesn't work.
