Set AMIBERRY_HOME_DIR in Amiberry.conf

[StusBrainDump]

I've been moving all my Amiberry files into icloud on the mac, which is great but the paths are long.
This got me thinking ... can we have an amiberry_home_dir option in the Amiberry.conf file? My thinking in my scenario is the following:

Set amiberry_home_dir=/Users//Library/Mobile Documents/comappleCloudDocs/Amiberry/

Then allow setting the other paths using a placeholder [amiberry_home_dir] or similar, such as:
config_path=[amiberry_home_dir]Configurations
harddrive_path=[amiberry_home_dir]Harddrives

This also allows simple moving of the whole amiberry structure if you want. Copy the files somewhere else, set amiberry_home_dir to the new path. Sorted.

If I've missed a similar existing functionality, please let me know.

Thanks.

Have you checked the existing functionality using ENV variables? https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/wiki/Amiberry-directories

Just another idea while we are on a roll. I know themes aren't in the UI yet but how about a "Fonts" folder under your proposed "Visuals" folder, and make that the default location for theme fonts?

Why not just use one of the system fonts you specify in the config? Why have separate fonts in a folder lying there?

[StusBrainDump]

System fonts? I’ve obviously missed something. I downloaded fonts and specified a full path in the theme file.

I think I had that implemented, to use a system font when it finds it, falling back to full paths only if that fails. I'll double check though - I think that's the best approach still :)

But let's track the Themes part separately here: #1916
