File and folder path overrides #469

Closed UTDZac closed 6 months ago

UTDZac commented 6 months ago

This adds support for overriding the file/folder paths for a few files used by the Tracker. The affected paths are those that the Tracker creates at run time, such as the ROM & log file for a New Run. These overrides are necessary to support docker related installations where some files need to persist between sessions.

To use a path override, edit the Settings.ini file and provide an override path for any of the supported paths.

Here is an example using each of the currently available path overrides:

[overrides]
Animated_Pokemon=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\Other\
Randomizer_Error_Log=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\Other\
Theme_Presets=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\Other\
ROMs_and_Logs=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\GameFiles\
Tracker_Data=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\GameFiles\
Backup_Saves=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\Backups\
Network_Requests=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\Other\
Attempt_Counts=C:\IronmonInstall\TrackerFiles\GameFiles\

The path overrides do not have to be identical, nor do the have to be the same; each is handled individually. This example just shows a way to separate them for organization.
