[Archive Cache Manager]

Hi @Kronos9294

When Launch Path is set to Platform, the archive is first extracted / copied to the cache. Once it's cached, the Platform path is created. A hard link is then created within the Platform folder to the cached game. In File Explorer this looks like there are two copies of the game, but in the file system itself there's only one copy of the game but with two links to it. The decision to use hard links means only one copy of the game needs to be in the cache, but can be accessed from different paths without the overhead of copying (large) files.

When another game is launched on the same platform, the previous hard links in the Platform path will be removed (the original game will remain cached), and the new hard links created. If the original game is launched again, it is already cached so only the hard links need to be updated.

Oh thank you for clearing that up that's so awesome!

Can someone tell me if there's a bug in which when you put launch path - Platform it makes two copies of the chd one in default path and one in platform path.
