Android: "RetroArch settings were potentially modified but not saved last time you opened it"

[davidhedlund]

Steps to reproduce the bug

• Open RetroArch in Android.
• Modify any setting.
• Close Retroarch from Android. This will not save the setting.
• Open Retroarch again. If: Settings -> Configuration -> Save Configuration on Quit: Enabled [default] it would be useful if RetroArch displayed a "RetroArch settings were modified but not saved last time you opened it, because it was not closed from "Main Menu -> Quit RetroArch"

Version/Commit

• RetroArch: 1.16.0 (F-Droid)

Environment information

• OS: Android

if the settings aren't saved, how do you propose RetroArch knows that the settings aren't saved?

a method in which this data is recorded would also permit saving the settings, and moot the point of the request.

This can be achieved by logging when:

• Logging when RetroArch was opened.
• Logging when RetroArch was closed from "Main Menu -> Quit RetroArch"
• Compare the logs, if RetroArch was opened but not closed from "Main Menu -> Quit RetroArch", then it should send a notification like: "RetroArch settings were potentially modified but not saved last time you opened it, because it was not closed from "Main Menu -> Quit RetroArch"

Too much hazzle. I proposed this solution instead:
