[Feature Request]: Slight improvement

[GHU7924]

Checklist

• I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

@kalaposfos13 I suggest you make your interface a little more friendly for beginners.

Remove default.ini from the configuration selection and replace it with hello.ini with the text as shown in the screenshot.
hello.ini will be displayed in the list as CUSAXXXX.
Rename the "Default" button to "Reset", it will also reset the file to default.ini, but the hello.ini file should be an exception.

I also had thoughts about presets for configurations like "Shooter", "Soulsborne" and so on.
This is separate from the configuration files. But you probably won't want to add it.

Reason

The interface is more friendly for beginners.
Also, the "Use Per-Game config" has a more convenient location, which will also be better for translations into other languages.

Examples

I actually didn't mean to place the Use Per-game configs checkbox to where it is now, I just messed up the code and didn't care enough to fix it as long as it was a in sort of okay place lol.

Presets and a Welcome screen are not a bad idea, but first I'd like to reach a conclusion with everyone else about how the final GUI will look like, and until then I don't really want to add a lot to this as it will get overridden anyway (see shadps4-emu#2311 for that), but once that is settled, we can come back to these.

There were also some comments about changing the Default button's behaviour to always reset the config to the builtin default, which I didn't really like as it offers no alternative to the current functionality, but your suggestion to add presets would solve the issue rather neatly, especially if the user also had the ability to create their own presets as well, I'll also add that to the list of things to do after the GUI is finalized.

Presets and a Welcome screen are not a bad idea, but first I'd like to reach a conclusion with everyone else about how the final GUI will look like, and until then I don't really want to add a lot to this as it will get overridden anyway (see shadps4-emu#2311 for that), but once that is settled, we can come back to these.

I think you also need to develop your GUI further, because it's very good. The new graphical interface is unknown when it will be ready, but in the future, your interface will be a kind of backdoor. I believe that the user should have a choice, so even if a new interface is created, I would like yours to remain at least as a separate button, such as "manual editing", where you can assign multiple buttons to a single action and make other edits.

Now I'll tell you about the presets in my understanding for your interface.

I'll take Bloodborne as an example.

1. You select the CUSA03173 configuration file from the list = an empty file with that name is created (CUSA03173.ini).
2. You select the soulsborne preset - only then the contents of the soulsborne preset (soulsborne.ini) are copied to the CUSA03173.ini file.
3. You edit it, if necessary, and save it.

IMPORTANT: The emulator must remember that the soulsborne preset was used for this file (CUSA03173.ini).
Therefore, when you press the Reset button, the CUSA03173.ini file will reset to the soulsborne preset (soulsborne.ini).

If you are playing [CUSA08632] Call of Duty®: WII, for example (found in the compatibility database), then you have the shooter preset applied and the reset will occur to the shooter preset.

My idea is something that's a bit different: There would be a Presets button in the place of the Default button, that would bring up its own submenu, where you have the following options:

• Select a preset from a drop down list
• Load the selected preset to the currently opened config
• Save the currently opened config as a new preset (with a way to name it, obviously)
• Delete the selected config
• Rename the selected config

The presets list would initially only contain the built-in default config, making this the new way to reset to the original settings.

I don't think that remembering what preset to reset a config to would be worth implementing in this system, as it's already something you can achieve with this setup with just a few more clicks.

I'll duplicate the text:

Hello, "Username"!!!

#[1] - Select the configuration file of the game (CUSAXXXXX) from the list.
#[2] - Select the preset that best matches the type of game you are playing.
(You can also choose to have your preset used for all your games.)
#[3] - If you haven't found a preset that suits you, you can create your own.
#[4] - Edit the configuration to make it more convenient for you.
#[5] - Save it and have a good game!!!

-Gaming Preset-
Gaming Preset - selecting the basis for the configuration file.
Apply - copies the presets information to the configuration file.
Reset - resets all changes to the original preset settings.
Edit/Create - edit a preset (delete and rename) or create a new preset based on an existings one.

-Editing Presets-
Select a preset - selects an existing preset to rename or copy (create a new one).
Copy Preset - creates a copy of the preset, selects it (for example, Soulsborne - copy), so the preset name is immediately displayed in the rename field (Soulsborne - copy).
Delete Preset - Delete Preset.
Rename - renames the selected preset from the list, sets a new name for the copy, thus creating a new preset.
Apply - applies a new name to the configuration file, adds and selects the preset that was just renamed (or created) in the "Gaming Preset" list.

*Default.ini can be made not as a configuration file, but as a preset, selecting which will display the control that is currently installed (keyboard only).

P.S. I seem to have made all the changes I wanted, but there may be errors and flaws in the text, but as for the interface itself, everything seems to be correct, so I think this is the final version of my vision of your GUI for greetings and presets.
