Problem description

Currently it is possible to run an external tool related to a game (i.e. a mod manager) by following some lenghty steps like:

  • go to the selected game settings
  • scroll down until you reach the run exe on prefix button
  • navigate the file explorer until you reach your executable

This process may be ok during installation, or when you only need to perform a single action, but it can become soon a bit cumbersome for some tool that yopu want to use often, in example using a mod manager.

Feature description

The proposed solution will be to have some way in the settings UI where the user can create a list of commonly used executables, eliminating the need to navigate each time to the desired executable.

The main UI card for a given game will then display an extra "tools" icon, that when clicked will reveal a list of the saved tools, that can be launched with just a couple of clicks this way.
