Refers to https://github.com/kanryu/quickviewer/issues/71. It's not been tested because I can't compile the sources!
I think there are two problems with this pull request.
The process of creating the config directory is not implemented on purpose. I don't want to break the application for people who already have QuickViewer installed. That's why the directory is only used if it already exists. Implementing directory creation and file movement is more than I feel comfortable doing blind.
Saving files under AppDir does not solve the problem of configuration files stored in the directory with executables in the portable version. There it also makes sense to separate the configs (writable) and the binaries (read-only).
The is preferred due to the better security properties - the directory may be made writable without allowing modifications to the binary files. However, since this breaks compatibility with current installations, it is only used if the directory exists. Otherwise the original behavior (config files directly next to the main binary files) is used.
