Hi,

My mind is that the third line of your config file is the problem : folder = "C:\Users\Nicholas\Downloads" Apparently, the \ are the cause of this error. You should consider using forward slash (/) instead of back slash(\) or double backslash wich result to escape the them. Here are the results of the two options in your case :

1. Using forward slash : folder = "C:/Users/Nicholas/Downloads"
2. Escape backslash : folder = "C:\\Users\\Nicholas\\Downloads"

Let me know if this work for you
