📄 Description

Attempts to provide a general solution/fix for #458

Type the following keywords into output path or default output path textboxes to use variables:
%SYSTEM% = Long name for system
%SYS% = Short name for system
%MEDIA% = Long name for media type
%PROGRAM% = Long name for dumping program
%PROG% = Short name for dumping program (currently only DiscImageCreator -> DIC)
%LABEL% = Volume Label
%DATE% = "YYYYMMDD" current date
%DATETIME% = "YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS" current datetime

For now, these are not documented anywhere, but are provided for advanced users.
