Power User Settings
General Note
"Power user" settings require editing config located at %AppData%\GHelper\config.json
Quit G-Helper
Make your changes / additions co
config.json
Start G-Helper again
Make sure to keep json structure (i.e. not to break it with extra or missing commas, etc.) or the app will fail to read it and will just recreate an empty config instead.
Easiest way to do so - is to add new lines to the beginning of the file
