Moving the game kinda sucks #4

It's possible to change the location of the installed game, but the UX seriously sucks:

  1. It's not possible to install a fresh game and choose the location when setting up a profile. You have to create the profile first and then set the location.
  2. When a new game location is selected, no validation happens (or any kind of checks) so it's possible to change the location and then try to update an empty folder.
  3. Astra should ask if you want to move the game files when changing said location.

With 4948db82be2390bb8e17b6de458b453fb7bb5d63 Astra now has a proper framework for finding existing game installations

And also with d83faa6bbb9043e952c81229d1dc3d1d1895fa2c it's now possible to select the install folder before installing anything
