Ability to type path to game directories instead of using system GUI #120

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, when I'm setting the path to the relevant folders for Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3), I have to manually select the folder's using my system's File Manager GUI.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if I could manually type the path (or copy+paste a string) directly into the field in Lampray, rather than needing to click through my system's File Manager GUI.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, this system is set up to make it easier for user's with non-standard file locations. Alternatively, the system could be changed to make it easier for user's with standard file locations--then give non-standard user's the option to manually set the path.

For example, with BG3:

In general, I think its best to design the system for the general/common user, then have additional options for the non-standard user--rather designing for the non-standard user and forcing the the general/common user to do configuration steps. That being said, the options I've listed above are not the only options--so maybe there is an even better way to implement this.
