Open file dialog upon Load Settings

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm currently working with students without much (if any) programming experience, and we're trying to ease the workflow so thought it might be a good use-case to bring up.

We've found a suitable set of settings for a type of videos we're recording a lot of. Here, writing bash scripts is out of the question as it's too programatically tricky. We wrote a generic .settings file to use across videos, but when we click Load settings in the GUI, I'm assuming it's looking for an appropriately named file in the source folder - which means we would have to copy-paste the file and change it's name for every video. (Note this is of course just for the GUI use-case which will be the only one they'll be exposed to)

Describe the solution you'd like It would be super useful to have the option of opening a file dialog upon clicking Load settings where we can choose the .settings file ourselves, even if it's in a directory far far away.

Oh, this is actually a great idea! I will add this to the next version.
