Currently the scraps prefix setting is a single string like
~/MyPaint/scraps
that encodes the prefix for eventual scrap files like
/home/username/MyPaint/scraps020_a.ora
The single string nature of this is fairly nasty UX, since the user has to think about paths and prefixes. It's also a pig to verify from the programming side when we need the folder to be present and correct, different OSes need different prefixes, and the final part ("scrap") should be made localizable.
It would be better to split this one setting into two, a folder selectable with a button and a file prefix that the user can type in. The setting itself should be split too, so that the default for the former can be OS-specific, and so that the default for the latter can be localized.
