@iamkubi, IF you have some time, could you please take a look at reviewing this?

Hi, I also had a modification to the configuration parser to propose but I can't find how to base my PR on yours.
I was looking to add glob support as explained here : pelican-dev/panel#608

You are going to be have a hell of a ride as the whole configuration parser logic does not have acces to list all files as that object is never pased to it

Does not work if you are not supposed to create the file (breaking path changes), idk if adding a "doNotCreate" flag would be better

the fil then should be created by the install script

as the configuration parser is only ment to edit files not create them (while it does that for some parsers)

I don't think you understood what I meant.
The point is not of creating files or not and i'll show with an example.
For SP-Tarkov (formerly SPT-AKI), the "config" folder was name Aki_Data before 3.8 and is now named SPT_Data.
It is acutally impossible for the wings to properly parse the config files without creating waste ones and the other non used folder as I need to use the same egg for both versions.

with this PR you would be able to use a variable in the filename and then let the user select on a dropdown with a variable to select the right config dir. but for removing create from the file that is also an option but not for me to decide if that is wanted or not
