Add an ability to predefine common download paths

fastiuk commented 2 years ago

Add predefine config file: preconfig.json
Defined one parameter COMMON_PATH that holds predefined common path in the next format: /path1/dir/bla;/path2/dir2/lol Paths should be semicolon separated

The problem I resolved here is that the common paths we saved are stored only in local storage and not shared between your computers. This feature allows users to define preconfigured paths that will be available everywhere.

@johman10 could you please review it?

@fastiuk thanks a lot for the PR I was thinking about doing something like this but never really came around to it. This is actually quite a good solution to the problem presented in https://github.com/johman10/flood-for-transmission/issues/434. It's definitly not perfect yet, but it's a great first step towards that state where config can be shared.

The changes I made based on your PR:

Use comma seperation and trimming of values before showing, also make sure there are no empty string left
Properly wait for the promise to resolve before showing or storing the paths
Rename preconf.json to config.json
Allow for overwriting on a per browser basis like before. This means that the config will only be read when there is no value stored in the browser yet. To be honest I'm not 100% sure if this should be the expected behavior but for now I would prefer to load the variables still into the browser like before. Perhaps until this grows to become a bigger, more consistent pattern through the UI.

Let me know what you think. I will keep this behind for a little longer to allow you to respond to those suggestions.
