Could not connect Embedded Database File: %!w(*os.PathError=&{open C:\Users\xxx.geek-life\default.db 3}) FATAL ERROR: Exiting program! - Could not connect Embedded Database File

Hello @ryosama,

Seems like the application is failing to get your home directory. Can you please try setting the Database path manually and let know if it works? You'll find it in "Where is the data stored? Can I change the location?" section of the readme file.

It works if I specify a DB_FILE environnement variable. On my windows 10 I modify my Home directory to "e:\Documents"

@ryosama thanks for this I had to go into Environment Variables in Windows and set the DB_FILE path like this image The app is unusable on Windows without doing this.
