File Management V0.1

[JiveyGuy]

So for this, I just had the idea that we will have our settings.toml configure certain dir paths as "Game Drives"

When the file manager is called it will work like this:

1. Caller specifies how much space they need and optionally the drive they need it on.
   a. If no drive is specified pick one with the most space
   b. if no drive exists with enough space for the game return (false, game_drive)
2. If there is not enough space begin clearing the drive
   a. If there is enough space, return (True, game_drive)
3. Read an %appdata% file (TBD) with info about which game was used last
4. Remove least recently used games until enough space is requested
5. If successfully made enough space return (True, game_drive)

Lets get on this as mentioned in #2 @courtmuel

Did you want to start on this or me?

I can attempt to get this started and make some progress this weekend. Just a heads up I will be going on vacation for the next week or so starting Saturday.

Awesome have a great time! :D If you want you could leave lots of components like this and just make a structure I could work on in my free time:

def get_file_stuff( 
    path :str,
    mode :str = "w"
 ) -> list[str]:
     pass

You know just using "pass" and kinda laying out a plan, or maybe coming up with a behavior you would like.

(EDIT: I know this looks weird, lets use type hints, they are a new-ish update to python for a better development experience).

Hey so sorry I just returned from out of town and had less access to my laptop and the web as I had anticipated. I will try to get started and make some progress on this ASAP.
