[FEATURE] A dropdown to preserve user configs in ~/.config/hypr during an update using the dotfiles installer app #1221
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
~/.config/hypr is quite a huge folder to track what one demands changed or maintained. Since ml4w 2.9.8.7, I had some tweaks in the ~/.config/hypr folder for several apps. Sadly, some of the newly added features in the later ml4w versions couldn't reflect on my system because I always preserved that folder until recently when I had to reinstall everything because I broke my PC. Before the reinstall,some of the features even stopped working because the configs hadn't been updated in ~/.config/hypr
The new dotfiles installer allows to preserve ~/.config/hypr but the issue still persists after several updates where my personalized scripts have new configs that enables new features. At least if the dotfiles installer would provide a dropdown to specify what folders within ~/.config/hypr one can preserve or allow an update would be helpful. Even more helpful would be an indication of which of those folders in ~/.config/hypr actually have updates, kind of like a changelog would be very helpful. Then it will make it easier for the user to know exactly what files were updated and therefore do a manual update on the config scripts should one wish.
For example, I have moved around some icons and hidden some on the Waybar to clean it up to my liking. However, there are additions to Waybar configs that I missed because I always preserved that folder during an update. Some features later even stopped working, such as window resolutions.
Describe the solution you'd like
Enable the dotfiles installer to provide a dropdown menu style to ~/.config/hypr and specify which exact files/folders to keep or update.
Also provide a changelog of specific file changes in ~/.config/hypr so they user can go and incorporate those changes in their custom scrips.
