Description

Replace:

Configuration files
Default configuration file is stored in this directory.

With:

Configurations
This directory stores files managed by menu items located in Configuration Files, Overrides, and—for core overrides on supported cores—Manage Core Options sub-menus.

Rationale:

  • Label:
    • Add: Configurations. Matches the default config destination directory used by the rgui_config_directory variable.
    • Remove Configuration files: Lowercase initial words are non-standard for labels; standardizing "Configuration Files" to capital "F" risks confusing users into thinking it only affects items under Main Menu → Configuration Files, whereas it is also used for saving overrides (e.g., Quick Menu → Overrides → Save Core Overrides and Quick Menu → Core Options → Save Game Options).
    • Avoid: Adding Overrides to the label to prevent confusion that it is limited exclusively to Quick Menu → Overrides (capital "O"), given that it also handles other items like Quick Menu → Core Options. Additionally, since overrides are inherently configurations, using the simpler term Configurations keeps the label concise and all-encompassing.
  • Sub-label
    • Added
      • Configuration Files, Overrides, Manage Core Options, along with detailed explanations of their functions.
    • Remove Default configuration file is stored in this directory.:
      • Context from Issue Update "Save Main Configuration" sub-label (bypasses custom save directory) #19211: The "Save Main Configuration" is the only menu item under Main Menu → Configuration File that does not save to the Settings → Directory → Configuration files directory.
      • Even if this behavior is updated in the future, the primary file will remain associated with the configuration files section, which is explicitly covered by the first part of the sub-label.
