Disable Hekate and overwrite prompts from config file

[i3sey]

I propose to add the ability to disable the update offer hekate from config file. This would be good for custom builds that already include modified Hekate.

I also suggest doing the same for the overwrite proposal ini.

This will make life easier for users and help install the firmware in 1 click.

I support this idea. (I do not know how to upvote here)

On that note: there is preserve.txt, where users can specify any file paths that should not be overwritten. What happens if the paths of the .ini files are in preserve.txt, but then the user selects Yes in the overwrite prompt during an update? Would those .ini files get overwritten anyway, or be preserved? (edit: looking at extract.cpp, it appears that any files in preserve.txt would not be overwritten, even in this case). Should they?

Having toggles to disable the overwrite prompts (for atmosphere and hekate at least) would be useful.

@Nephiel yeah, preserve.txt should take prevalence over the prompt, in case you want to overwrite inis except for the ones you explicitly want to preserve.

@i3sey what would a modified Hekate be? Do you have an example?

For example 4IFIR (popular overclocking atmosphere-based cfw). It contains a modified Hekate and this is its most important component.

I'm probably not gonna add a way to disable the overwrite ini prompt. What would be the use case for it?

However I might add a new field for packs, or maybe a tag to put in the title (like [PACK]) that skips disables the hekate prompt

Thanks for listening to my words, I meant auto-confirmation of ini file overwriting. Sorry for my bad English, that's probably why you didn't understand me

Nono your english is great and I understand what you want, but I'm asking why you want it. Does the 4IFIR pack update its ini files with every release?

I consulted with the 4ifir community and came to the conclusion that autoconfirm overwriting is unnecessary. Thank you for your quick answers, I will look forward to implementing the hekate pass. Also noticed that autobuild doesn't work, I know how to fix it and will open a pull request soon. Also expect to add russian localization for aio, trying my best to help the project.
