Error changing the default location in the config window #255

This is not stricly a problem of the add-on itself but, when I try to change the default location of pdfUrlImportSavePath, Anki prompts me this error (Windows):

Invalid configuration: JSONDecodeError('Invalid\escape: line 104 column 32 (char 3766)')

The solution I came with is to double escaping each escape character in my location path.

Hi, thanks for noticing me, it should probably check for any unescaped backslash and replace it with escaped ones upon save. In general, I just type all the paths with forward slashes to avoid such problems.
