[Ui/UX] Import button is not immediately visible
Problem description
Right now, to import a game, you first press "Install", then the Import button appears. This is counter-intuitive, as when you want to import a game, you don't want to click "Install".
Feature description
Before, we had an extra button next to Install to import the game. I think we should bring back this button.

I also find importing very confusing. When I tried import game for the first time I thought I have to set Install Path to existing folder where the existing game files are. But then when I clicked Import it prompted me to select the folder again.
But I think that having one install button is the right way. Importing is not really something that exist in other launchers and splitting it may also be confusing.
IMHO there should be a guide when you click Install button: Step 1. Select if you wan't to a) Download the game or b) Import existing files, then click Continue. Step 2. Selected install path and wine prefix (that's common for both a and b) and other options specific to download like language, dlcs, etc. Then click Install to either download the game or import it.
Maybe the action can have the text Install/Import
in the game page, there's enough room to make it clear.
Maybe in the game card we could use a +
icon instead of an arrow pointing down?
@biliesilva we need to figure it out how can we make importing already installed games more easier to the users. can you think on something?
