  (Contributed by @pranshu6 in InputTreeView.js)
Force to Use Max Size in KB for UploadComponent
- The UploadComponent now offers a new option, forceToUseMaxSizeInKB, which—when enabled—forces uploads to adhere to the maximum file size limit. For example, image uploads now enforce a maximum size of 2048 KB, ensuring you get high-resolution assets without manual tweaking.
  (Enhanced by @moe-moe-pupil and updated in Settings.js)
Game Container Adjustments
