Suggestion - Add Function if config.cfg file does not exist

I will look into it, but I will pursue a cleaner solution for implementing that function. Thank you for your suggestion!

[GalaxyDev90]

Ok :) , I'm completely new to Github. It probably would have been better if I had made a pull request, right?

[cafali]

Yes, that would be the correct way to directly contribute to the repository. I have implemented your suggested function in the latest release, version 1.1.6.

// Function to copy the backup file from the meta folder to the main directory
void RestoreConfigFromBackup(const std::string& backupFilename, const std::string& destinationFilename)
{
    std::string sourcePath = "meta\\" + backupFilename;
    std::string destinationPath = destinationFilename;

    if (CopyFile(sourcePath.c_str(), destinationPath.c_str(), FALSE)) {
        // Copy successful
        MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Config restored from backup successfully."), TEXT("SnapKey Information"), MB_ICONINFORMATION | MB_OK);
    } else {
        // Copy failed
        DWORD error = GetLastError();
        std::string errorMsg = "Failed to restore config from backup. Error code: " + std::to_string(error);
        MessageBox(NULL, errorMsg.c_str(), TEXT("SnapKey Error"), MB_ICONERROR | MB_OK);
    }
}

// Restore config.cfg from backup.snapkey
void CreateDefaultConfig(const std::string& filename)
{
    std::string backupFilename = "backup.snapkey";
    RestoreConfigFromBackup(backupFilename, filename);
}

// Check for config.cfg
bool LoadConfig(const std::string& filename)
{
    std::ifstream configFile(filename);
    if (!configFile.is_open()) {
        CreateDefaultConfig(filename);  // Restore config from backup if file doesn't exist
        return false;
    }

    std::string line;
    while (std::getline(configFile, line)) {
        std::istringstream iss(line);
        std::string key;
        int value;
        if (std::getline(iss, key, '=') && (iss >> value)) {
            if (key == "keyA") {
                keyA_code = value;
            } else if (key == "keyD") {
                keyD_code = value;
            }
        }
    }

    return true;
}
