Move config.json from Documents folder to the proper application support directory (AppData\Roaming on Windows, ~/.local/share on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support on macOS). This fixes the app hanging on startup on Windows 11 25H2 when the Documents folder is inaccessible (OneDrive sync issues, permissions, network redirects, etc.). Changes: - Use getApplicationSupportDirectory() instead of getApplicationDocumentsDirectory() - Add 10-second timeout on directory resolution - Ensure directory exists before writing config - Add try-catch in SettingsBloc to emit error state instead of hanging Fixes: CCExtractor/ccextractor#1936 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
