enhancement: Highlight and don't re-download floppy images from floppy database #128

When I use "Download from the floppy images database" option, it seems to always download the disk image from the net, whether I've previously downloaded it or not.

Ideally, the "Download from the floppy images database" option would also be able to be used offline. It could scan the files in the floppies dir for each page of the (cached) database and highlight the ones that have been downloaded already and can be run now, offline.

The floppy database menu makes it easier to find things rather than having to rename all of the disk image files to something a bit more descriptive. Surely the database could be cached to allow it to be used offline with cached disk images?

Maybe this would be easier to implement as a new, separate Configurator menu option called something like "Emulate from the floppy images database"?
