FR: Add user-configurable "extra install locations" setting #108

Open Nightblade opened 2 years ago

Nightblade commented 2 years ago

Example Use Case (Windows)

  1. User wants to clean their Steam installation, but it's on a non-system drive, let's say F:\Games.
  2. User adds this location to an "extra install locations" setting in BleachBit.
  3. All cleaners that search in C:\Program Files and/or C:\Program Files (x86) now automatically search the "extra install locations" too.
  4. "Steam" cleaner will now search C:\Program Files\Steam, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam and F:\Games\Steam

This is related to an under-the-hood feature called multi-value variables, but this feature would allow the user to specify extra values for environment variables. For example, Steam often uses the environment variable %ProgramFiles% which could also expand to the user-supplied F:\games
