I am on kUbuntu 24.04, sioyek 2.0.0. I want to use shared_database_path to use a path in home directory, like this: shared_database_path ~/WORK/sioyek or shared_database_path $HOME/WORK/sioyek however, this config option makes sioyek find the wrong config location in /tmp Stacktrace:

database_file_path: /home/myname/.local/share/sioyek/test.db
local_database_file_path: /home/myname/.local/share/sioyek/local.db
global_database_file_path: /tmp/rhythmbox-plugin-playlists-import-export/$HOME/WORK/sioyek
tutorial_path: /usr/share/sioyek/tutorial.pdf
last_opened_file_address_path: /home/myname/.local/share/sioyek/last_document_path.txt
shader_path: /usr/share/sioyek/shaders

This makes saving annotations and highlights fail.

As a workaround you can just use the full path for now.
