Candle settings are stored incorrectly on Linux #644

Versions

  • Candle version: 1.1
  • Firmware version: 1.1

PC info

  • OS: NixOS Unstable

Describe the bug

Candle currently stores the user settings in the directory where Candle is installed.

This is incorrect practice on Linux, and it causes problems in distros such as NixOS.

Because of this, the settings are never saved, and so every time Candle is opened all of the settings are reset to the default.

The correct practice is to store user settings inside of the $HOME/.config/candle folder.

Or... alternatively, you could provide a setting so the user can specify where they want the settings stored. That would also fix this problem.
