UI Feedback Improvements & Translation Fixes

This update significantly improves user feedback during potentially long operations like game path searches and resolves various translation inconsistencies, enhancing the overall user experience.

Changes:

• New: Visual Feedback for Path Searches

  • Added a visual indicator when searching for game save paths via Drag & Drop or during Steam profile configuration.
  • The main window now displays a semi-transparent overlay with a centered "Searching..." text indicator, clearly showing background activity and preventing interaction with the main UI during the search.
  • This replaces the previous behavior where the UI might appear frozen.

• Improved: Steam Profile Configuration

  • Refactored the save path detection for Steam games to run in a background thread (SteamSearchWorkerThread).
  • The Steam Games Management dialog now remains responsive during the search.
  • Result handling (path selection, saving) has been moved to the main window logic for better consistency.

• Fixed: Translation System & Text

  • Resolved issues where several UI elements (including the "Profile" table header and content like "Last", "No backup", "No profile created.") were not being correctly translated into English.
  • Corrected the underlying translation context handling (using QCoreApplication.translate) and improved the process for updating translation files (.ts/.qm) to ensure better reliability.

• Internal Refinements:

  • Removed redundant code definitions.
  • And more...

• Note:

  • The status bar progress bar remains active specifically for Backup and Restore operations. Path searches now use the new overlay indicator.
