Please allow us to manually define where the additional files like configs and such are located!

Suggestion

Give us a UI option in the settings that'll let us select a different folder where it puts its files, instead of appdata

Use case

I like to be able to not use appdata, or the default locations that i always forget about when i reinstall windows. Would be much easier for me to just be able to tell qbittorrent that its appdata folder is now in its own root folder, in a separate config folder.

I closed qbittorrent, created the profile folder, restarted qbittorrent, closed it, copied the files from local and roaming into this qbittorrent folder inside profile, and now my settings are not being recognized, either in appdata, or here.

No idea what i did wrong.

Edit: I think i figured it out. The folders and files from roaming go to Profile\qbittorrent\data and the files and folders from local go to Profile\qbittorrent\config.

Wish the documentation said that.

Edit 2: Not perfect. While qbittorrent is running its still using the folder in local, and this method also does not account for the plugins_data folder in roaming. Where does that one go?
