🐞 Description of the bug

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher launcher.launch_sherlock(single_project_path="C:\users\aklara\Downloads\test")

No matter what folder is specified using "single_project_path", all imported and added project are created at the location projectDialog_projDir in the Sherlock %APPDATA% user.properties file, which is not updated by this launch of Sherlock.

📝 Steps to reproduce

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher launcher.launch_sherlock(single_project_path="C:\users\\Downloads\test") After Sherlock is opened, import or add a project. See that the location of the project is in projectDialog_projDir but that value was not updated to the path I specified above using launch Sherlock. All projects I created went to C:\users\tbreg\Documents\Sherlock, which was the value of projectDialog_projDir in my %APPDATA%/Sherlock/user.properties

As you can see, my "single_project_path" destination is empty: wrongSingleProjectPath
