Make settings account specific
Describe your suggested feature
I am creating this issue because I am not sure if there is a reason not to do it intentionally. I could do a PR for this myself if it is wanted. At the very least I feel some settings should be account specific, such as "Advanced search", "Provider languages", "Preferred media", maybe other "Providers" and "Player", potentially "Layout" settings, not so much "General", "Updates and backup", or "Extensions" though. However, probably most importantly is that "Accounts" be account specific, especially those like Smikl.
Since I'm not sure on which really want to stay as shared settings, or which should be account specific I am just creating this issue. If I am told which, if any, should be account specific, I can (probably) do a PR for this myself.

How about installed extensions and providers are also account specific?
Installed I think shared, enabled ones could be account specific. Thats just a personal opinion though.

Wdym by enabled ones?
For example let us say that I installed hexated repo and from this repo only sorastream was installed. Would it be better to have sora as common or account specific? Although I'm just nitpicking and I wouldn't mind either tbh
Most of the settings cant be made account specific as they are implemented in a different way from setkey/getkey. that being said only the settings that makes sense should be account specific, shit like buffer size/download path/dns are all device specific so it makes no sense to wipe them when creating a new user as that will destroy the UX

This I agree with. But things like Smikl should definitely be account specific in my opinion.
Can't we do something like:
val accountPreferences = context?.getSharedPreferences(currentAccount, Context.MODE_PRIVATE)
// Use the accountPreferences if available, or fallback to default preferences
val settingsManager = accountPreferences ?: PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context)
val isAdvancedSearch = settingsManager.getBoolean("advanced_search", true)
for account specific preferences by saving some preferences files by account name?
Maybe not, just a thought if it could work?
@LagradOst what are your thoughts on the above? Is that something you think is feasible if I work on making some of them account specific?
Having at least the "Accounts" settings (Smikl/MAL/AniList) be account specific would be great. On TV I have two different startup accounts, and each of those accounts have their own MAL and AniList account - meaning to switch accounts I am currently having to select the other account in 3 different places.
