Hi thanks for logging,

I am curious to understand the unit and separator settings listed? Some of these settings may be doable others no so much due to how wolf works. Would need to investigate further.

Would be good if could add some additional context for some of these settings

Outside of this have been toying around with some exposing some global settings to apply to published apps.

Additionally working towards enabling WolfManager to handle plugins for different libraries and handle things like proton versions.

🌍 Global Settings

Select the language for the application.
Several application does choose their Surface by the Language you set on System. If you Use Wine and some modern Windows application you are even not able to change the Langauage. They auto choose the Language by the Desktop Lang.
Select the keyboard layout language
If moonlight would be able to translate user keyboard to en-US this setting would not be needed.
Other Country settings to
- Choose the unit of measurement.
- Select the separator character
- Choose the paper size for printing.

Currently, I have Problems with dates (USA use month, day, year) differenc behavior if I tick , on my numpad.

Choose the directory where wolf should mount the wildlife dockers.
Currently, /etc/wolf is preset. But I would prefer /opt/wolf

📱 App X

The preset is located in /opt/wolf/app x/preset/root and represents the root directory.
The preset is located in /opt/wolf/app x/preset/home and represents the ~/ directory.
The home is located in /opt/wolf/app x/home/
I have the need to preset some apps, as an example Firefox. It would be nice to preset some settings add-ons and bookmarks
The Backup will be stored in /opt/wolf/backup/.
Could also be named Export. But the Idea is to have a Way to get things out and be able to import it somwhere else.
If it will ever be possible to create a docker app with without the need to have a prepared Docker Image, even more helpfull.
Enter a zoom, if empty or 0% 100% is assumed, will be used to adjust the appearance
e.g. I have an ancient Windows 98 game that only work until a resolution of 800x600 and wish to play it on a 4k
this also helps in use-cases where desktop apps on mobile-phone is used.
Lock from Internet access
I have Windows games on Wine that try to connect Website (without ssl) which does not anymore exist.
Starter for Moonlight:
There are several cases where an application has several tools that could be started.
