Version 3.2.1
-Added a "Set default backup folder" option in the "Game Folders" settings. If enabled, the default folder will be set as the backup folder when creating new profiles. You can still choose your own folder if you click on browse. The tooltip will show which folder is set.
-Added missing tooltips for the backup and save file folder paths, in the create new profile window.
-Added pre save location path in GAME.ERAB, if you create a new profile and the save location is available, it will be preinserted. In some instances the location may be wrong so change accordingly.

-Switching to the mini UI, will now also move the "Hotkeys set" text accordingly.
-The last and 2nd last backup files are now saved in each <profile>.profile seperately.
-Code improvements.
-Changed the Temp unpack folder to "\EZAB\Temp" instead of the "..\<backup folder>\Temp" from each profiles.
-Custom games with the same <Save file name> and <game>.exe, and also "Elden Ring" since this game is fixed to EZAB, can no longer be added to the game list.
-For adding custom games, it's now required to enter a save file extension. If the game doesn't have one (e.g. Control) then enter "none".
-Fixed a bug, (only if no profile existed) where the "turn off auto backup" function was triggered every sec, when hovering the mouse to the minimize or close button, on the top right corner of EZAB while the tooltip showed up, and toggle auto backup was possible through the hotkey.
-Fixed a bug, where after restoring a backup, the file and timestamp on the statusbar, may not be updated correctly.
-Fixed a bug, where the "Quick selection" backup list, didn't always match the order of the list view.
-Fixed a bug, where the "LastSave.jpg" is also included in a profile backup.
-Fixed a bug, where the "Overwrite" Profile backup function, wasn't overwriting an existing profile backup, but only adding new files to the archive.
-Fixed a bug, where the auto backup function, didn't create a backup for games with multiple save files. The backup only showed up in the list.
-I haven't found the issue of not working controller hotkeys yet.. so if this happens, just restart EZAB while the game is running.
Version 3.2.0
-New EZAB splash logo and icon.
-Profile backup function overhaul, the complete profile including <profile>.profile will now be backed up. The backup icon will now only turn green, if in the profile backup folder a <backup>.zip exists besides the <profile>.profile.

-Loading a profile backup now doesn't require the profile to be already created, if the profile doesn't exists, the <profile>.profile will then also be copied.
