GameHub settings ignore all changes of file paths. #315

Expected behavior

When I change the game install paths in the preferences, it was expected that the new paths chosen would be used. The main paths for downloading game installers, AND the actual INSTALL paths for games (further down in separate areas of the preferences) were tried.

Actual behavior

A folder named "Games" is STILL created in my home folder despite my already having a "games" folder (note the lower case makes it a DIFFERENT folder) and pointing ALL the settings at a GameHub folder inside my "games" folder. This "Games" folder that is wrongfully created against my will is where the games get installed to, despite the installers being downloaded to a GOG folder adjacent to the chosen "_Collection" folder (which strangely enough DOES respond to changes of path).

Steps to reproduce

Install any GOG game or HumbleBundle game after changing the paths and restarting GameHub and deleting or moving the old "Games" folder out of the way. The newly installed game will cause "Games" to be re-created, and the game will be installed there, no matter where you've told GameHub to install new GOG or HumbleBundle games to.

Try to change install directory to something else temporarily, restart GameHub, change it to directory you want and restart again.
