Shkarko GDevelop 5.4.219

💝 Improvements
- Add a new option for layers, to keep a layer centered when the game size changes, or keep it top-left fixed (as before).
- This is useful for layers which you want to stay on the center of the screen, which works well with the new option to extend width/height of the project without cropping the game area.
- If you already move the camera using events, this won't have any impact.
- This also works well when using the Anchor behavior to position objects on the screen.

- New, reworked "Create new game" dialog. It is now the entry point for creating a new game, allowing to:
- create an empty project from scratch
- (new!) use a "starting point" for your projects, to bootstrap your platformer, top-down or physics game. They are extremely simple template, with minimal gameplay, perfect for new users discovering GDevelop.
- start from a project customized by an AI,
- or as before, one of the many free or premium templates provided with GDevelop.

- Add an option in the game properties to extend width or height and never crop the game area.
- This can be used to ensure your game area is always fully displayed, with a background layer on which you use the "Anchor" behavior to position a tiled sprite or other objects:
As well as a few more improvements:
- Projects linked to a game are now shown and can be opened directly from the game dashboard.
- If a cloud project is not shown, it's usually enough to open it from the Build tab and save it so that it appears in the game dashboard.
- Add "Create new folder" menu item inside "Move to folder" menu.
- Improve LAN preview network to detect local ip properly for Network previews
