Make electron version save reference to file rather than asking to re-input #127

Closed SeanLeRoy closed 1 month ago

SeanLeRoy commented 5 months ago

The desktop version of the application can save a reference to the file rather than asking for the user to re-input it since it has access to the file system. This just complicates things because of how we ask for files (currently we ask for them using a web friendly format which gives us a File API object that doesn't give us the absolute path) so we would need to have this behavior be different for different types of input
