Emulator Issues #10563
closedMake video backend options consistent

Description
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
If settings such as "Dump Textures" are enabled in the graphics configuration for the software backend, those settings will be applied to all other backends. Some software renderer settings don't have obvious counterparts in the other backends.
Software renderer settings shared across backends should be consistently named and visible across all backends.
Here is what I have so far for understanding software renderer options:
Bypass XFB: Corresponds to "Disable XFB" in other backends. I proposed a name change to "Disable XFB" in https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/6052.
Various Statistics: Corresponds to "Show Statistics" in other backends. I proposed a name change to "Show Statistics" in https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/6052.
Dump Textures: Corresponds to "Dump Textures" in other backends.
Dump Objects: Corresponds to ? in other backends.
Dump TEV Stages: Corresponds to ? in other backends.
Dump Texture Fetches: Corresponds to ? in other backends.
- Can someone help me fill out the last three "?" in the above information?
- If the last three options are exclusive to the software renderer, do they affect other backends? If so, they should probably be visible in other backends.
- With the last three options enabled, I only noticed PNGs dumped into my ...\Dolphin Emulator\Dump\Frames folder. "Dump Frames" is not enabled. Where are the last three options expected to dump their output?
- Since strings such as "Various Statistics" would no longer be used in https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/6052, will the translations be automatically removed by Transifex?
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Enable settings such as "Dump Textures" in the graphics configuration for the software backend
- Change video backends
- Observe that the software renderer settings are still applied.
Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
