Prerequisite

Describe the bug

After updating directly in the /opt folder from tar.gz, the program crashes if the personal ~/.PDF4Teachers folder is already present. Deleting the folder, program starts correctly and re-creates the folder (loosing all previous settings)

To Reproduce

Check the console

/opt/pdf4teachers/bin/PDF4Teachers

PDF4Teachers is now storing it's data in $XDG_DATA_HOME/PDF4Teachers or ~/.local/share/PDF4Teachers to fit XDG convention (#127). PDF4Teachers is then copying data folder from ~/.PDF4Teachers, but this is bugged in 1.4.0, and leads to an error.

The bug is now fixed for futures releases. What you can do is to copy the folder yourself, or just delete it. Thank you for reporting this bug.
