[Feature Request]: Version Manager - Constant shadPS4.exe path option

[Boczekek]

Checklist

• I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

Would be nice to have an option allowing you to keep your shadPS4.exe path unchanged after version switch/update (so basically disable version manager but keep update option).

Reason

Everytime you update emulator in pre-realese version everything you had in your shadPS4.exe directory irreversibly disappears.

This would make the emulator ReShade-friendly again, as now it has to be reinstalled after every update and all configuration files and screenshots are irreversibly lost.

Examples

Pre-release versions could have a folder simply called 'Pre-release' instead of the full name, for example
"Pre-release-shadPS4-2025-11-22-f6ae5544fdcf781d9578d4a7b6c5089705929c8f",
and when updating, instead of deleting the entire folder, it would only delete the executable. I think that should solve it.

I think that in the version manager, in the pre-release download line, you need to add (Nightly), and just name the folder Nightly.
