Ability to separate Downloads and Installations folders. #210

Hello.

First of all, I want to thank you very much for this project. Great job.

I just dumped my entire GOG library into GameVault and I ran into a problem with big games. (BG3, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk)

  1. Game is first downloaded to Downloads folder in compressed format (100GB).
  2. Archive is extracted (100GB + 100GB) because the archive remains to Re-Extract.
  3. Game is installed (100GB + 100GB + 100GB) in Installations folder .

So to install a game with about 100 GB size we need 300GB of free space in GameVault root folder to keep GameVault App functionality.

I propose to add the possibility to setup Downloads and Installations folders on different drives. Or button to delete compressed archive after extracting before installation.

Just in Case this gets implemented: Let's keep in mind that moving files between different disks takes time. So, we should have loading bars in certain spots, such as when we're moving the "Extracted" folder.

I think both tickets are similar enough to merge them. Planned in #229.
