[BUG] File path can't handle paths with apostrophes #176

Closed Noah6544 closed 9 months ago

Noah6544 commented 9 months ago

Bug Description

Throws an error if I try to use my default path of "C:\Users\Noah's....\Downloads" which has an apostrophe (a bad choice I made years ago).
I even change the path to "C:\Temp" or something to avoid my bad Windows User path, but it still throws the same error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Have a Windows User Account (in the path as well) that has an apostrophe.

Screenshots Error: My Path (I might not be doing/saving it right):

Info (please complete the following information):

Operating system: Windows 10
App version: 3.15.0
Package version (chocho): 2.2.2

Interesting bug..

It's not related to download path, but path where yt-dlp is located. And yt-dlp is located under C:\Users

The apostrophe is not the problem. It's the space in your username that's causing the problem
