[Feature Request] Dolphin Custom Global User Directory #37

Open TheWranger opened 3 years ago

TheWranger commented 3 years ago

Current behavior

Users have to manually modify Dolphin's Global User Directory https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Controlling_the_Global_User_Directory

Expected behavior

Users will be able to modify the Global User Directory via Dolphin's "Runner options" in Lutris

Justification

Other emulators have their own options to set a custom configuration path, Dolphin should also have this ability. It is inconvenient for users to have to manually do this through a terminal, and if a user uninstalls Lutris's Dolphin build and then reinstalls it, the Global User Directory configuration set via the terminal is lost. This is bad for users wanting to update their Dolphin build to a more recent one.

It seems like manually modifying the Global User Directory breaks a bit with Lutris's Dolphin runner. Dolphin requires you to use an additional option every time you run it ("-u /path/to/user/directory") in order to set a custom Global User Directory. Need to use a script to add it in on every launch, but that causes its own problems.
