Refactor project configuration GUI

[jmkerloch]

Feature description

For now project configuration is displayed with a table:

This was well adapted before the cache management option because there was only 4 columns:

We have new feature that must add and this will require adding more configuration for project.

I suggest we change the way project are displayed by using two component in UI:

1- A list display all available project and we have button to add / remove / move project
2- When selecting a project, the configuration is displayed

With this approach it will be easier to add more configuration to project:

• icon ?
• select multiple location

I have begun the refactoring:

What do you think about this new way of displaying projects ?

With this kind of implementation we can easily add more option for project, or move option for group creation to project.

Thanks, the interface looks good.
Please note: today, the “merge with previous” and others options are exclusive. Checkboxes relax this constraint.
We may need to rethink the way these options are configured?

We have a request to add several location : #130

If merge with previous is checked, the other location will be unchecked.

It's cool but from my point of view it's not a priority for now. I'll review it anyway.

@Guts I know it's not a priority for now but it will make further development easier from my point of view 😄

Some suggestions:

• add an Apply button to check if the configuration works
• make the dialog a modal which can be moved without moing the whole QGIS
• add a checkbox to hide the configuration (warning the end user that it'll be applied to the next QGIS launch)
• use projects thumbnails instead of table on the left side panel
• rename options to Global options
• display cache location and make it easy to open it in explorer
