I want to report a few errors

Re: I want to report a few errors
Is this the 'official' way to report bugs, or is there a better way to do so? I decided to do a fresh install of Aquabyss and had WinUAE recording so I could report the following minor problems:
While this looks like it should be checked to show the ID and game key, it's actually showing what will happen if you click the box. If you do so, the ID and game key are revealed, the box is unchecked, and the text changes to 'Hide ID & Key'. I'd rather see this as a box simply labeled 'Show ID & Key' (i.e., not changing when you toggle the box) and being unchecked when the ID and game key are hidden.
(image edited to censor private data) Speaking of, I'm not sure what this text looks like in German, but 'introduce' isn't the right verb in English. I'd use 'enter' instead. And yes, these are screenshots of the v1.09 installer, but after updating the installer to 1.22, I removed the 'idkey' file before relaunching it, and the issues I just described persisted.
Is there a way here to create a folder? If so, it isn't obvious. If I didn't already have a Games folder, I'd have to exit the installer to make one. (The weird coloration on the active selection went away with the update to 1.22, at least.)
This is another place where the translation from German to English didn't go smoothly. It should be 'Getting file sizes', not 'Getting files size', and likewise 'Getting file names'. The countdown to automatically exiting the installer is also overlaying the word 'key' for some reason.
I realize these are all tiny nits to pick, especially since I haven't even started the game yet, but some while back I said I'd help with translation issues and then utterly failed to do so. I'm not going to promise I'll help, because that's the most surefire way to make me drop off the face of the planet again, but I figured I could do this at the very (very) least, and hopefully I'll do some more.

Re: I want to report a few errors
Sorry, I missed your post. Yes, you can report bugs here (or on Discord).
The installer hasn't been touched for quite a while. All the translation errors you mentioned are fixed in the game's auto-update (it uses almost the same code and messages) but not in the installer.
Directory creation
Yeah, this would indeed be a nice feature. However, our primary focus has been on ensuring simple and stable functionality. We had a few other ideas as well, including directory creation. This, along with other features, may be added in the future. That said, no promises — especially since the game is still awaiting some super-cool updates
