Version 1.8.0

This update adds flexible RPCS3 trophy detection for EmuDeck, custom emulator layouts, and serious background performance improvements.

What's new

• A new RPCS3 data folder setting lets you point Playhub Metadata to an RPCS3 installation, dev_hdd0, home, user, trophy, or individual trophy-set folder.
• A controller-friendly folder picker is available directly in the existing RPCS3 card in the QAM.
• Improved performance and reduced resource usage. The plugin now performs less background work, uses fewer system resources, and feels smoother throughout Steam Gaming Mode.

Improvements

• The first QAM opening now reuses the metadata cache created during plugin startup instead of downloading and applying the entire cache again.
• Library, achievement, RPCS3, and scraper settings are loaded in one bootstrap pass.
• The backend now reparses the large settings file only when its timestamp or size changes.
• Custom paths follow RPCS3 config/vfs.yml redirections, including EmuDeck layouts where dev_hdd0 lives on another drive.
• The settings page reports whether the selected location is valid and how many trophy sets were found.
• Existing game-to-trophy associations are preserved when the RPCS3 data location changes.

Fixes

• Fixed sluggish gamepad navigation during the first QAM opening on installations with large metadata and achievement caches.
• Invalid folders are rejected without replacing the last working configuration.

Existing metadata, credentials, imported achievements, trophy associations, and per-game settings are preserved.
